This is not a very smart question to be asking given the War on Terrorism we are involved in around the world.  There are at least 6 Nuclear Powers in the world that I know of, the US, UK, Russia, Israel, China, and France, nations which have or are capable right now in building and delivering by missile or briefcase, to a designated target.  There are at least 5 more working hard to enrich uranium to build their bomb, having already obtained a delivery system. Our government is very jittery and gets very suspicious of people who ask the kinds of questions you did.  If you want people knocking on the door at home, your doing a fine job of attracting the kind of attention and scrutiny you do not want, trust me.  I am one of those people who watched out for people like you before I retired.  Do yourself a favor and find a new interest.

Wrong Buddy. Remember you have some crazy people who will do anything to get a nuke in their hands. Anyone from terrorists, to warlords. The civilized world, notice like the US, France, Britain, and so forth, use their nukes as a deterrent. You know u nuke me, I'll nuke you back. Crazy countries like Iran just wants nukes to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! So therefore, it is in the best interest of the civilized world that certain countries contain and hold nukes.

no, thats the very reason terrorism against us exists. if a military invaded your country & killed your friends & family would you let it be? i wouldnt. id go all the way off. we tamper with their economies, laws, cultures, news/info & rights. just ain right. so many note the proactive stance,'woudl you rather wait till they attack?'...yes. itll be bad but thats the way it is. what if someone took an interventionist stance on us? we'd be pissed & outraged. by that rational, iran should attack usa since weve already made it clear that we're in their business. about iran, they have no means of making any nuke weapons. they have 2nd generation urenco centrifuges. we have 10th generation. the threat is if india with their new fast burn multipliers will sell iran the uranium for a weapon. although, india makes more selling electricity than weapons. iran has made upgrades to their reactors which allow them to enrich to 8%, 93% is needed for a weapon.\nactually rogerpoirier2, we & uk had blockades on both germany & japan. japan & china were in a big war so russia was the only place they could get recources. remember, theyre an island, not that big. they have limited recources. germany was on their european tour thing & needed to be shut down & thats what we did. only when rngland was attacked did we officially get in it. \nww1\nhttp://weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=88\nww2 http://www.philipdru.com/stinnett_stream.html

Nothing, US will not go to war with N. Korea.  It's military is much stronger than Iran and Iraq combined and there is nothing to gain in that land.  What I think the US will do is to negotiate and work closely with UN. If that doesn't work out, I strongly doubt we will go to war with N. Korea.

Well ,the question is, why shouldnt they have these weapons? The security council nations, ie You guys, Us (Britain), France, China and Russia all have high-payload nuclear weapony in stockpiles..Id say were more of a danger to world peace, wouldnt you?\n Besides, north Korea is a tinpot state, its a wreck and everyone knows it, except the media, who love to play this kind of thing up. Its almost as stupid as believing iraq could actually threaten us *laughs* States like Iran and N.Korea will never use nuclear weapons in anger, as this would almost definatly result in a nuclear response from the Security nations. Basically, we dont need to go to war with them, they wont use them and theyll probably disintergrate as a nation soon anyways..

I doubt the United States would declare a state of war with Iran- Iran has not attacked us (at least directly). If we fought a military action, I think it would be brief and simple, involving mostly naval and air forces to bomb and destroy Iranian nuclear reactors.\n\nI think the war would also be coalition-based, with UN and EU forces participating. After destroying the reactors, we would probably end the fighting.\n\nThis is similar to the 1981 bombings of that Iraqi nuclear plant by the IDF-AF (Israeli Defense Forces/Air Force). Except this time, we'll be fighting with a coalition.\n\nI am not sure if Israel should participate in this war. Like the 1991 Gulf War, it could ignite anti-Israel and anti-Semitic feelings in the middle East and spark a huge war.

america doesn't give a shit about other people, they've supported probably half the dictators around the world at one time or another, we supplied both iraq and afghanistan with weapons when it was in our best interest. The wmd thing is bullshit, do you really think the united states would attack country that actually had nukes? of course not that's we invaded iraq and not north korea

Someone here mentioned 50 military actions since world war II.  For the sake of the discussion lets assume that is true.  Fifty military actions and no adding those countries to the United States.  Fifty military actions and no use of atomic weapons.  Fifty military actions and spending billions to rebuild “other” countries.  Fifty military actions and the world has an increase of democracies.  Fifty military actions and millions of people continue trying (legally and illegally) to get into the United States.  If the United States wanted a third world war, it would be raging right now with the deaths with hundreds of millions dead from atomic war with no one able to stand up to the United States.  And yet it restrains from using its massive weapons.

The chances are pretty low that they would attack us directly with a nuclear missle.  They know that we could do much more damage to them in return.  It's much more likely that they would give or sell nuclear weapons to terrorists who do not have a nation to defend.

I think it's intuitive that more countries with nukes is something that should be discouraged by the world community, but the countries that already have them don’t want to get rid of them unless its mutual as with Russia and the US over the past decade.  I also think it’s a matter of the stability of the countries that now may obtain nuclear weapons.  Russia and China are downright stable compared to Iran and N Korea.

The USA does not go to war because of a difference in ideology. It is because of economic and defensive strategies. The war in Iraq was as much about protecting oil reserves as it was protecting US citizens from the big bad terrorists. Every country seeks to advance its financial and political interests. The US just has more resources to do it than any other nations. It follows in a long line of historical examples where a nation has gone to war on the pretence of making a better world where the actual aim was betterment of their own nation, for example the crusades, where ultimately it was just a land grab as opposed to enlightening the world to the "joys of christianity". It is, was and always will be a major issue facing the world, as nations jostle for position in the global hierarchy.

Is this a question, or a US bashing, I'm not sure. I often ask myself that same question though. The most honest answer might be because we can control our technology, and we have the power to control proliferation too because we see it as a danger. In general, it's probobly not a good idea for every Tom, Dick, and Harry to have Atom bombs. Do you really think nothing bad would happen if every country had enough bombs to destroy the planet? Yea that would be swell. \n\nI do have to admit there is a certain irony to the United States being so controling about nukes. We say we can't trust others to have them, but who's the ONLY county crazy enough in the history of the world to actually use one... Yep.

You people are truly misguided, if Korea is looking for nukes and long ranges missiles , it is because of a global arm race that include the US.. it perceive the US as a threats..\n\nbefore you talk , you should evaluate the bliX report  on WMD , it basically say that the US is directly responsible for a global arm race....and see the recommendations,,\n\n\nBlix report available below..\n\nhttp://www.wmdcommission.org/files/Weapons_of_Terror.pdf\n\nThe US should lead example by getting ride of nuclear weapons..\nsee what american Noam Chomsky say on the importance of disarmement..\nhttp://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?itemid=10449

You must have posted this just as I put my answer to a similar question! Anyhow, here's what I wrote:\nIran. 200 years and they have never attacked another foreign state. They are members of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (Just like about 170 other countries). They are NOT Iraq, as in, they are well advanced industrially and sanctions won't mean much to them as they are also fairly self sufficient. \nThey HAVE NOT breached ANY of their responsibilities as sigintories of the NPT. They have cooperated with the IAEA and allowed UN inspectors to their facilities.\nHmmmm, The United States is also a member of the NPT and has breached its responsibilities under the treaty several times. The USA has USED the UN to go to war ineffectively no less than SIX times since WWII! That does not include political insurgencies and and the like... Oh, wait, I remember The US has been there and done that. Look at the last time the US messed around with Iran! \nIsrael is not even a signitor of the NPT! Yes folks, Israel is not even a member of the NPT and REFUSES to allow UN Weapons inspectors to monitor their nuclear capabilities. HUH? Yep, it's true... We bomb Iraq back to the stone-age for "Developing WMD without UN Monitoring" (WMD that never even existed) and all the while Israel has a KNOWN Stockpile of WMD and constantly refuses to co-operate with the UN and the IAEA!! Israel is a rogue state! But hey, Pakistan also has WMD and is also not party to the NPT. Weird... They are always wanting to kick their neighbours **** (India) and why aren't USA World Police F*** Yeah wading in there to "Create stability, in the Indian Sub-continent?" Me thinks someone is puppeteering with The USA!

"Because, the USA, Isreal and Russia do not go around threatening to whipe other countries off the map".\nI just wanted to say  itsmevic is right usa doesn't go threatening to whipe other countries ,THEY JUST DO IT.\nIranian's aren't to be trusted becuase of just saying  something.so how can others trust in USA while they have used there nuclear bombes in japan and iraq.(using bombs is really peaceful!!?!!)and killing people in other countries is fun for them.(see whats going on in abooghoraeb).

The question is yes the US army is readily but unfornally, US ciztiens are not prepared for the end of the world by nuclear bombs, if any country including the US launched nuclear weapons, all other counties would then fire there weapons in case of attack plus everyone loses.
