1. exactly
perhaps the real question is why should we have nuclear weapons maybe we should all get back to disarmament like we were in previous Republican and Democrat administrations.

2. Because we do have them
Nations who seek Nuclear weapons can be stopped; it's harder to stop us, since we already have them. Plus of course there was the cold war, which mandated a certain number of them.

The two aren't parallel.

3. A better question
Is why it is okay for Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Isreal to have nuclear weapons but Iraq cannot have them.

Look we are the leaders of the free world. How else we gonna keep the peace besides keeping our big guns holstered at our side to shoot up the bad guys. . .
