Hostile nations are getting access to nuclear know-how and nuke-war head manufacturing and delivery system. ( North Korea, Pakistan Iran and so and so ).
Reasons given by nations like CHINA and INDIA is "nuclear deterrence" [ their potential enemy has it so they need to have it as well in the name of deterrence ] meaning if others don't have it they too will not have it.
Its only a matter of time B4 this bombs get to the hands of terrorists - there isn't anything in this world that is without a price tag on its head !!
In the sake of saving future human generations from doomsday nuclear bombs, its technology and know-how must be destroyed. United nations suggested Global Disarmament !!
But the USA never said or voiced anything and remained in silence on these !!
isn't it a fact that USA is the demi-god superpower in conventional military weapons , global Disarmament would certainly pave ways to eradicate nuclear doomsday terror , why US gov don't want !!

" Mark A " , I said so because the reasons given by every so called nuke nations on the name of deterrence is AMERICAN nuclear stock-piles , so the nucleus on this matter starts with US - anyhow , if USA wants it it can make sure a new world order can make it happen precisely and effectively

"Jai Hind", The nuclear-weapon states say they are committed by treaty only to "negotiations in good faith on effective measures" relating to the nuclear arms race and to nuclear disarmament and that they have fulfilled this by reducing their nuclear arsenals.
They are not committed in the treaty, they say, to total nuclear disarmament. They also argue that there is no time-frame, other than to end the arms race "at an early date".

And if we disarm, that will prevent the idiots from developing nuclear weapons? How would that work? This sounds like another silly scheme of the UN, which has never solved one problem in the world. If the US disarms completely, how would that change Korea or the fruitcake mullahs?

When the Pakistani scientist A Q Khan was found in 2004 to have secretly provided nuclear weapons technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea, Pakistan was not punished by the US.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union was an ally of India but more recently the US has come closer to India, seeing it as a stable, democratic and increasingly important regional power.
It has signaled its acceptance that India is now a nuclear-armed state. The two countries reached an agreement under which the US lifted a ban on trade in civilian nuclear technology and India agreed to accept IAEA inspection of its civilian nuclear sites.
Israel comes under pressure from other Middle East states but is supported by the United States, which would stop any moves in the UN to impose sanctions.
The ball is in THE USA's court therefore the choice for global disarm is rendered profoundly in the hands of Americans only Americans can make this dream come true .
A global movement towards eliminating nuclear arsenals has been underway for many years and the goal has become more hopeful in the post-Cold War period. Still, progress towards abolition seems halting and the path strewn with daunting obstacles. Those obstacles can surely be overcome if all prerequisites to abolition are successfully satisfied. First, there must be agreement on the prerequisites. Second, there must be commitment to pursue their achievement. The challenge is before us. and USA can lead the world out of the so called doomsday and save human civilizations forever!!

THe idea that a nation that has been safe from American nuclear agression for 60 years suddenly needs a 'nuclear deterent' is absurd. If they really needed the deterent, it'd be too late to get one. The only reason new nations want 'WMD's, including nukes, is as offensive weapons.
The whole 'balance of power' thing is currently balanced. You've got the USA & NATO vs Russian & China; and, you've got Pakistan vs India.
What disarmament would do, if it succeeded, is open the door for populous nations able to field huge conventional militaries to start conquering thier neighbors. Pakistan wouldn't stand much chance against India, for instance, and the conventional forces of Russia could roll over most of Europe in a matter of days.
But, it would be unlikely to succeed.

I totally agree with you .
I think the present government is bad
let s think fairly
first,do we have the right to have nuclear weapons and others not ?you may say we are a democratic country but you must know that Ahamadi Nejad elected and choosed by the iranian people(NB we are not sure if the president Bush desereved to be a president or not ,do you remeber the votes of the last state)
second: we are a democratic country but we hit Japan with 2 nuclear bombs at the end of the war without the need to do this (Japan was going to surrender)and we donot know if any japanese generation in the future may take revenege or not.
third:we allow some other countries to have nuclear weapond and help them like INDIA and ISRAEL WHICH is dangerous on the world peace and flaming wars from time to time (it is a reason of the hatred of many nations to usa)
forth:we have a very bad foreign policy against many countries like Cuba,Venezuela,middle east,north korea.,do you think if we have a fair normal diplomatic relation with these countries including iran ,does anyone of the world would attack us ?look at Canada ,it has a good realtions with all nations ,there is no terrorrism against it
fifth:we always attack others which makes them going to the steps of revenge.so if we stop shaking Iran regime ,do you think iranians and they know well that we are the strong power ,may attack us??
sixth: dealing with the iraq was is the worst .prisons of Abou ghareb ,killing citizens ,and many things which make others plans for revenge.
at the time of the second world war ,all countries of world and nations was looking up to USA ,now with the wrong decisions ,supporting some dictators,bad forign relations with many countries .the situation is difficult and there must be a change in the US policy

I agree, in principle, that total disarmament would be ideal; however, as long as hostile nations have arms, so must the more conscientious nations, in order to protect themselves and weaker nations.
As bad a rep as the US has, they have never sought to capture and take over a country - i.e. Japan in post-WWII; although attacked and brutalized, the US set up a democratic form of government and gave the Japanese control over their own nation. Yes, the new govt was established to be friendly to the US - but it would be contraindicated to set up an enemy's government to be continuously hostile to themselves.
As poor as the US's record may look, it is one of the very few countries (except for Ireland) who has not committed an unprovoked attack on another country. Ireland holds the record, but the US is near behind - perhaps because of the strong Irish influence on America's history.

simple answer,by definition,the "terrorist" groups will still try to gain nukes.Sad truth is that if we are attacked with a conventional nuclear device or even a "dirty" bomb,someone will face our wrath in the form of a tactical nuclear device.That much I can promise.Doesn't matter who the president is when it occurs.To live in a dream world in which all nuclear powers promise to disarm for the good of the planet is fanciful.The nuclear genie has been released and there is no going back.

Actually, every nation on the planet should be given nuclear weapons and the knowledge of how to use them.
This will *force* nations to resolve their problems at the diplomacy table rather than on the battlefield, saving both lives and money in the process.

How could we know that other nations actually disarmed? And if an atom bomb goes off in the US, do you think we'd retaliate with conventional warfare? It would be like putting a giant bull's eye on the US.

Yours is a bad idea. You are being naive. There are bad people in the world. We have to be prepared to defend ourselves and obliterate our enemies if we have to. Deterrence works. Look at the Cold War.
