Why should we in the west, or the enlightened nations, get to choose who should have WMD and who shouldn't, or more accurately who we trust with WMD and who we don't? In fact over a million Iraqis were killed for exactly this purpose. Then we found out they didn't have any.
It's like a modern witch hunt in a way. They've got nukes, we don't trust them - get them! But wait - we've got nukes, and they don't trust us.
It's the worst kept secret in the world that Israel has nuclear weapons, just ask Mordechai Venunu.. Pakistan. India.
To me it's kind of funny, in a strange way. It's like the sheriff going around deciding who is mature and smart enough to have a weapon that could destroy entire cities and countries indeed. In my opinion NOBODY should have these weapons. Not just our allies.
But obviously there are some who believe they are entitled to WMD and other nations aren't.
But then you get a problem. If you are right next to a country with a WMD, you are definitely not going to feel safe until you have one. So China got one, then India had to have one because of China. Then guess what..Pakistan had to have one because of India. This is only natural.
I'm not for anybody having these weapons. The issue for me is why can't we agree that these weapons shouldn't exist and why don't the nations who have these weapons actually hold fast to the plan to get rid of them?
My guess is that is causes tension, which in turn sells weapons, which in turn makes money. Profit over peace.

I'm not suggesting all of N Korea, just the dumb #######s that are in charge, hell just pick someone in the second tier of absurdly large green hats and back them in a coup. The CIA will happily teach them how to do it.
