Of course, morally I am against. But in the real world reason suggests that Nukes both deter and are capable of destroying enemies if needed.
If the world were run on morals crazy things would be happening.
Spoiled alcoholic oil-tychoon children would be elected president
The government would be able to get away with lying to it's people to start a war for profit.
Medical care would be too expensive for sick children on the basis of "I earned it I keep it".
Banks would be collapse because of bad lending.
Democracies would start wars.
Actually those things aren't moral or rational.

To a point... I mean... strategic alliances to a point can be used to deter war too... but eventually when you get to where everyone has a bunch of them... and you get WW1.
If more and more nations get nukes we'll eventually end up with a WW1 situation with nukes... where one mistake sets off a GIANT disaster...
and unlike the cold war, there isn't a giant pervassive fear of nuclear weapons anymore. Which in itself is kinda scary.
