many countries have the technology. the blueprints are on the internet. but so far the only country ever to use one on an enemy is us in WWII. I don't really believe any country would use them again. The devestation and loss of life aside, it would turn every other country in the world against them out of fear. The real threat is all those leftover nukes in Russia after our little cold war caused so many to be built.Those get onto the black market where they could be attained by people who have no power or country to lose.



Because Iran is the world's largest exporter of Islamic terror, funding, arming and training terror organizations and suicide bombers throughout the muslim world. A nation that embraces suicide bombing is not one that I want to have access to nuclear weapons.

North Korea has nukes, but mutually assured destruction still keeps them in check.

A nation whose leaders, and a wide body of their indoctrinated followers, who would eagerly die in the cause of Allah to assure their place in heaven, is not one I would trust to hesitate to use nuclear weapons, once they've acquired them.
This is a nation that's vowed to "wipe Israel off the map."
And made "death to America" a staple of their culture.
