Haven't we argued this particular subject into the ground before?
Alright here's the deal: The U.S. doesn't want countries like Iraq and North Korea to have nukes becuase they would use them to take advantage of other countries [i.e. threaten to get what they want or even launch them]. Take this for example: Iraq during the Gulf War launched chemical weapons against Isreal. Now what do you suppose they would have done if they had had a nuclear missle or two? Saddam wouldn't mind blowing Isreal off the face of the earth.
The U.S. has nukes for defense only. We aren't likely to shoot them off against our neighbors.
