The world would defininitely be a better place with no weapons of mass destruction. However, they exist and once something is invented its pretty much impossible to un-invent it and pretend it never existed... so we do have to keep some nuclear weapons... as long as other nations have them too.
Oh, DLN, I don't think the US has more than the rest of the world combined. During the Cold War, anyway, the USSR had more nukes than we did... even though they have less now, they plus the others with nukes definitely outnumber the number we have.
Not that it is remotely relavant, given how if even a fraction of those were fired the world would be a cinder.
The Bush administration does scare me too... I'm not sure if they do as much as a Kim Jong Ill (thats his name, right?), but they do scare me... maybe more than North Korea because of how much more power Bush has than North Korea.
Iraq? They, at this point, are not much of a threat, it seems. The inspections should be let to continue, until/unless Sadaam kicks them out again or they really finish... it'd mean less chance of war, always a good thing.
As for nuclear proliferation, the US government doesn't want any more nations, friendly or not, to get them... I don't see why anyone with them would want that...
