Well, it's true that if a country is armed with nuclear weapons, other countries will think twice before attacking it.
But, you should also note that many people in Iraq were not happy with the Saddam Hussain government (I don't mean to say that they are happy with US occupation).
US could not have occupied Iraq, if all the Iraqi people liked the Saddam Hussain government.
Yes, probably US would have thought twice before attacking Iraq, if Saddam Hussain had nuclear weapons.

Currently Israel are the only Middle Eastern country to have Nukes. Iranian Nukes will balance things out and prevent Israel ever using theirs. Likewise (although some stupid people here like to believe it) Iran will not go crazy and attack the West. he simply don't have the means to do so (i.e. the long range missles). Nukes in Iran will be for defence against the illegal state of israel.
The same stupis people who think Iran will attack us have to remember that the only country to have used a Nuke is the US and they are the only country who has come close to using them again during the Cuba Missile crisis and more recently when they stated that they would use the bomb (if necessary) in Iraq.

Wow Greay area, somebody has an axe to grind. First off, America nuked Japan, a country that had attacked it first. It took such a decisive blow against Japan to stop their attack and cause them to surrender. This was also at a time when war's were waged on countries, civilians, not just military targets. For anyone who calls the US merciless, we are practically the ones who have worked to increase targeting to spare civilian lives. Not that it doesn't happen, but if this war were waged on WWII terms we would be killing tons of civilians.
Desperate men? It is the terrorist who specifically targets innocence. There is nothing just in doing so. Your portrayal of them as desperate men, is dispicable and leads me to believe you must be some sort of sympathizer. Someone should check into your background.
Bullies... Makes me laugh. It was Germany that invaded poland. It was Germany that invaded Russia. Along with the Japanese at that time they were the bullies as it was they who attacked us.
Okay enough on Lightless mind (that's you grey area!)
The reason the WORLD COMMUNITY sees it as a problem for Iran, N Korea and other small dictatorship type countries to have nuclear weapons is that they are unstable! You don't give guns to children! Iran, touting it's fist saying everybody should listen to us, N. Korea saying we will defy you, Pakistan saying we have the bomb we are important now, is not why the "bomb" was developed! It was developed to take the fight out of a very aggressive opponenent and to stop bloodshed. It was developed during a time of war, and used during a time of war, not as a threat during times of relative peace to get political action.
More nuclear weapons, in the middle east with dictators and emotionally adjitated leaders who believe that their salvation will come after a great and bloody war (islam) is not the type of people anyone wants to have control of a weapon that could catapult us, you me and everybody into dealing with a world after a nuclear winter, and potentialy killing our planet. These people do not think past the immediate, the future means nothing to them. That is why they are able to be suicide bombers. They do not care about life on earth. Is this who you want to control your life?
Think!!!

Personally I'd like to see all countries without nukes but you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
It's a bit rich for America and the UK to say to other countries that they can't have them. Especially when you consider these two points:
1. America is the only country ever to drop a nuke on another country and they repeated it a couple of days later with asolutely no need to.
2. The UK government condemmed Iran in the same week that they were voting to replace Trident
Pot, kettle and Black springs to mind

I'm not sure I understand your question.
I don't know if it will make the area any more stable, but I imagine dubya would kick up a stink about the whole situation. I just want countries to stop trying to build nuclear weapons.
Whats next? What is the next generation of WMDs? When are they coming? Who's going to have them first? And will one get dropped on a country?

You are not making sense. If you are saying if iraq had a nuclear devise no body would attack them? They could not be allowed to posses such a weapon as it would not be safe in their hands, look at the way they tried to occupy Kuwait which started the first gulf war

According to the MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) theory, then yes. This would balance the Israeli nuclear arsnal.
This is the doctrine that is supposed to have avoided a major conflict between Russia and the US during the cold war.

Not at all, the countries you are talking about have got nuclear weapons and try to flex their muscles by testing them etc. They won't fire them because they're cowards and know full well that if they start a war off, they'll get absolutely hammered, so they're really pretending they're hard but browning their underpants behind closed doors.

I agree with you, any indpendent country in the world should have the right to arm itself with whatever it can afford. what gives america the right to have nukes yet tell the rest of the world they can't be trusted enough to have such weapons.... so far they have been the only nation stupid enough to nuke another country and kill hundreds of thousands of complete innocents
Bullies.... they bomb the rest of the planet as and they they choose but when a handful of desperate men crashed a few planes into their buildings they haven't stopped crying about it. I wonder how many buildings american bombs destroyed in Lebanon recently ??

The problem with fanatical countries like Iran, Iraq and North Korea etc, is that they will not wait till they need to defend themselves before they use it, think about it for...... sake!!!!
