I personally think that no one should have any nuclear weapons..but since some do I think the world community should do it's best to keep these weapons in as few hands as possible. No doubt everyone will someday have them but hopefully by then we will have better protection against there use.

What determines who owns nukes in an international treaty called the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Only four nations are not signatories: India, Israel, Pakistan and North Korea. India and Pakistan both possess and have openly tested nuclear bombs. There are currently 189 states party to the treaty, five of which have nuclear weapons: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and the People's Republic of China.

Right, this is international politics at its stupidest- it works like this; all the major powers that have nukes signed an agreement to disarm them at some 'point in the future' - and use this agreement as a reason to stop other nations from developing them.
Thats it in a nutshell - you can get names and dates off the internet...

Iran has offically and publicly stated there desire to wipe Israel of the map. Countries that take radical positions like this should not be allowed to have nukes.

Youre right, the US is a champion of hypocrisy. Bring that up though, and the hypocrites will be very angry with you.
