I was born in the early 80s and to this day I am fascinated by our ability to wipe ourselves out.

Why anyone would be OK with yet another nation acquiring such nasty weapons is beyond me.

A better idea would be to have Israel give up theirs if Iran does the same. Israel is already under our "umbrella", so they do not need their own anyway.
