Is this unfair.............Please read?

Question

How can the United States have nuclear weapons and expect to enforce other countries to not to have them
It sounds unfair to the other countries and that's why they wont listen
But if the United States and other Countries gave more power to the UN To enforce the laws (of no nuclear weapons testing)Than maybe the other countries would listen and not have weapons of mass destruction....Because the UN is neutral

Answer 1

While it does seem unfair, and I know where you are coming from ... N. Korea is unstable and unpredictable... while other countries that have nuclear weapons like the US are more stable and less likely to use them against anyone for personal gain.... I think we've only used ours once and that was with Hiroshima... but don't hold me to that...

Answer 2

The UN is not neutral. It made up of every country in the world. Both the good countries and all of the bad countries.

Do you know what countries are on the United Nations Security Council? The countries would surprise you.

I think the US should get out of the UN and choose to only participate in a group with the G7 or G8 countries. Why goof around with dictatorships?

Answer 3

The united states won't blow up Japan, England, France, or other countries. Nuclear communists country is not favorable for anybody. The Cuban missile crisis almost erupted into a nuclear war becuase of Castro's insistence on maintaining nuclear missiles for the Soviet Union. Though, this may seem unfair it does keep global stability because if North Korea goes nuclear then Japan, China, India, and Pakistan would follow like a domino effect. Sometimes good is not fair but it keeps us alive.

Answer 4

Guess what dear, read your history books and see how many times we have turned those weapons of mass destruction on another country. We only used it one time and we helped them rebuild their country , because I do not think even WE knew how devastating the bomb would be. We have not flexed our atomic muscle to any country that was not trying to build their nuclear power up to be used against the American people. I have no confidence in this administration, however, as I think they would hurt anyone who stood in their way so I kind of understand any country trying to make sure we don't totally destroy them by building up there defenses. I am afraid we have seen our last free elections , I hope I am wrong but this November will tell the tale. All we can do is wait and see.

Answer 5

It sounds like a good plan. But I am unsure whether the U.N. is even effective. One would think that our country, the U.S., having all the nuclear weapons, economic power and a consumer society would have better sense than to invade Iraq and now have other countries jumping on the dog pile.

Answer 6

well the UN IS NOT neutral, actually. i dont like the idea of any one telling the US to take a piss, let alone disarm when some of the most dangerous people in the world (including several non-UN members) now have nuclear weapons. the US is a soverign gov't, and eits decisions need to come from its citizens and the people we elect.

disarming is a noble goal, but we're not there yet; and we won't be until it becomes safe to do so.

Answer 7

What color is the sky in your world? The UN is not neutral, but it is worthless. More power to UN would allow every country, no matter how dangerous, to have nuclear weapons. We would never live to see 2050.

Answer 8

That is very unfair, but it says a lot about the American state of mind. And the UN is not neutral at all. It is a grossly biased extremely prejudiced bureaucratic mess, that is only capable of benefiting it's own PR projects and financial status.
It is huffed up with it's own self righteousness, and wouldn't any better with the situation than anyone else, they'd probably handle worse.

Answer 9

I wonder who makes up the watchdog agency of the UN... maybe you need to check a bit on the reality of what is going on before you ask such a question. Under whose auspices was the agency who was looking around in Iraq and N. Korea and got booted out?

This is a UN function now.. why the question? The UN has no power in itself, only by vote of the members.

Answer 10

To quote the words of my late grandfather, "Fair is fair around the Billy goat's tale.Meaning fair is as fair does.Suffice it to say that the current administration is guilty of a whole mess of crap-especially where civil/human rights abuses are concerned.But at least in America, we have a document(For however long it lasts!) that says we must respect freedom.Better to have an armed Nation that fails to live up to such a text with the potential for change, than to intrust
nuclear arms to nations that would kill you for voting, protesting-ETC.
