Because the U.S. doesn't go around threatening to nuke everybody. India, the U.K. and many other countries have nukes too, it's not just the U.S. We know that the countries that are allowed to have nuclear weapons aren't going to go around nuking every nation that pi$$es us off for whatever tiny little reason. We've all got problems with Iran and North Korea having nuclear weapons because those 2 countries especially are run by psychotic dictators who don't care who they kill.

There is no politically correct answer to this question. We have them to make sure if others attack us we can blow them up. We will not let Iran have them because we think they will try to blow us or Israel up. So get over it and just be happy that we do not automatically use our 4500 warheads to destroy our enemies.

If we limit the number of countries that have nuclear weapons, it is easier to protect our way of life. meaning the western world when you start having place like Iran that have nuclear weapons things can get a little crazy.

India has the capability to create nuclear weapons & no one says anything negative about that. So why do we pitch a fit over North Korea & Iran?
India has never said that they want to enrich uranium to destroy things. They want to build power plants. Therein lies the difference.

because the USA keeps it's arsenal as part of the MAD strategy (mutually assured destruction) of defense, which has worked. Iran wants it's arsenal in order to wipe countries off the map. How do I know this? BECAUSE THEY FLAT OUT SAID SO! It doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize this.

The US hasn't threatened to blow up the world like Iran has.
The US is NOT a theocracy like Iran is.
The US has nukes for DEFENSE
Iran wants them for OFFENSE
duh

The US government hasn't been going around demanding the complete destruction of a nation and people.
Some of it's citizens have but not the legitimate government.

America does and thinks whatever Israel tells us to. Hence why we invaded Iraq instead of North Korea even though North Korea is a bigger threat to the U.S. than Iraq. But since Iraq was a threat to Israel, we invaded Iraq. Same with what we are going to do with Iran.
