All Countries that are "Nuclear" capable...
I find it very hypocritical that we the United States and our allies such as Britain & Israel are able to carry weapons of mass destruction while everyone else isn't.We do so under the guise of national defense while accusing the others...our so called enemies that they have them because they hate us. What unjust propaganda we are conveying!

I think the other countries ought to be able to have Nuclear weapons with the understanding that if they use them, they could get wiped out just like any other country that has them.This is called...

The balance of Power.

2. The knowhow is there
the issue is the fissile material.

If you can get your hands on enriched uranium (e.g., from a breeder reactor) -- making the bomb is 1950's "high tech" - not 21st Century "high tech."

The choke point is the fissile material.

It's a lot more then US, UK, Israel. Try India, Pakistan, North Korea, France - plus probably others that are not as well publicized.

3. NO!!! There are too many atomic weapons as it is! But I DO agree
that the US should be very quiet. It's up to the UN and the IAA.
