That would be ideal, but I doubt it could ever happen. The appeal to keep a few would be too great, the man with a gun in a society with no guns is powerful. Who checks to make sure people are complying? How do you enforce that? What do you do when China decides to build a few nukes again?

I don't think you can put the genie back in the bottle.

EDIT: Maybe a more realistic goal would be to have countries continue to reduce the number of nukes to some lower number, 500 each max or something.
