Ok.... Ghosttoker, the reason I wanted you to answer the question so bad is because you talk like you know what countries should have nukes... I just wanted to know what countries you would like to have nukes that dont already. I wanted to know what criteria the US violated to not allow them nukes... This is the problem with liberals today.... they complain about how shitty things are, but when pressed for solutions, they clam up and start making exuses....

Your entire argument is based on "no-one should have nukes" Well guess what? Me the crazy conservative guy agrees with you! No-one should even have a knife!! The world should be a fuzzy happy place where no one suffers or dies. But that ain't the case, my friend... the world is a cruel, unforgiving place. There is many evil people in the world, some in power over entire countries.... The fact is, nukes exist, they were invented in the past, and now that they are here, we better take care they don't fall into the wrong hands.

I didn't say the US would use nukes for agression lke you suggested, but they would use them for thier own defense and the defense of thier allies (South Korea, Japan).

Your comment about the US being the ones who haved used nukes in the past, so they are the ones to be afraid of can be countered by this segment of an earlier post of mine....

Yes, we are the only ones to ever use a nuke, but I'd say we had a damn good reason. In case you don't remember 25,851 casualties just in Iwo Jima. Think of the number of dead on both sides if we would have invaded mainland Japan. Thier warrior mentality of no surrender, die with honor would have caused massive casualties. So the nukes, without a doubt, saved lives. Did you know that more civilians died in Japan as a result of firebombs than the nukes? Little known fact. So who should the world be afraid of? Let me tell you, a government with a dictator who hold ALL THE POWER! IF Kim-Jong says launch a nuke, then launch a nuke they shall. They aren't crazy because the US says they are, they are crazy because they put themselves before thier people.
Let me tell you the countries that you really should be afraid of... Pakistan, China, and South Korea. These are the countries that SHOULD NOT be owning nukes. And if Iran ever gets 'em, then they will be on the list too.
