I don't think I phrased my post above too well...

'At what point does another country decide that you can or cannot have nuclear weapons?' - below that are reasons as why, for me, one or two countries should NOT be allowed to take control and implement military action - and not a dig on the situation with Iraq.

I know it parallels recent events, though I was trying to keep it hypothetical - but I suppose it's all in our subsconciouses at some point. What happens next time if intelligence suggests that a country may be developing a WMD program - at what point do you give trust to a country that has got it wrong before - let alone give military aid to it?


Should there come a time when the US are the country left with a nuclear arsenal - would they make steps to rid themselves of it? Would they rely on convential armed forces to defend itself?

If they refused to 'get rid' does that not send out a hypocritical message to the rest of the world - and ultimately the rearming of other countries would start all over again?

(sorry - too many questions :confused
