What I happened to find quite funny was an interview with some high-up 
American guy a couple of weeks ago where he said something along the 
lines of (On the topic of N Korea et al developing nuclear weapons) :

paraphrased : "we can't let these nations develop nuclear weapons (or 
other WMD) because they could then use them to bully other countries 
just because they have superior weapons and this isn't right"

Seems a bit hypocritical coming from the USA!

Isn't that just what the USA does/is doing? If history was different and 
some other bunch of countries/nations developed nuclear weapons first 
then we would probably be in the same state with some other superpower 
calling the shots.
