Intresting,I personally think that all nukes should be destroyed,why? Mainly because in my opinion theres too great a risk of some extremists taking control of a nuke and using it to wreak havoc on some city,this would then probably start of a series of events that would end in war. |
Nukes help keep the peace, generally. You don't attack a nation with nuclear weapons, and nuclear-armed nations (who are also generally the strongest in the world in conventional capabilities, too), haven't openly fought each other at all so far ever since Nagasaki, except India and Pakistan.
More advantages than disadvantages, as long as they are kept away from completely unstable regimes (who wouldn't be able to fund them in the first place, likely enough)

Except... Iran already is an unstable regime... and they can fund it due to oil.
The middle east is the big exception to your rule.

Stability is relative. I think the current government is stable enough to know not to do this, and the trends in the country are towards further moderation, not away. The only danger is if more irreconcialable elements of the Revolutionary Guard stage a coup, but even then they would be answerable to Khamenei, who i would also trust at least to restrain from using the bomb.
