To steer this in a slightly different direction, because I'm curious, and we aren't actually getting anywhere here, why DO the 8 countries that have nuclear weapons still ahve them?

I can clearly understand stopping Iran from building them, they're terrible things. But why haven't the other countries that have them not been forced to destory them? Is it simply that they won't, because they are afraid that without them, the countries that do have them will suddenly attack them?

If Iran is building WMDs, then they should be stopped, but does it not seem slightly hypocritical that the country doing it is the one with the most nuclear weapons?
