I don't understand why you would back away from swift, massive, retaliation if an enemy uses a WMD on you.
'Hey, here is a get out of jail free card if you want to kill Americans!'
I just don't see it being a wise decision. Reduce the total number of nukes? Sure. Tell enemies we won't use it against them? No.
Despite the worry of nuclear weapons, its prevented us from having another world war for the past 70 years. Say what you will, but they've certainly saved more lives than they've killed.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
