I don't see how the nations with weapons can sit their with a straight face and say that other nations can't join their club. It is purely hypocritical. There is also no way Iran would ever launch because it would evoke a scorched earth response from Israel and if they were out of commision the US.
More and more I want to go isolationist and let the world take care of itself. I don't believe that in the modern world we are going to see large scale territorial wars between equal powers in the near future. Getting involved in the minor schermishes is just a waste of money and lives.

Iran signed away their rights to nuclear weapons when they joined the NPT. They have been reaping the technological, diplomatic, and trade benefits of that treaty since signing it. They must now pay the consequences for breaking it.
Israel never signed the NPT.
