In an ideal world no one would have nuclear weapons... however since the technology is out there and it can't be simply suppressed or wiped out, the possibility of a MAD bringing deterrence is the best we can have right now.

Anyways I actually don't think there is too much of them out there to really pose a threat to civilization... so maybe in present day numbers they are a desirable thing because of said deterrence...
