I think (not sure here) that throught the non proliferation treaty (1968ish)
we are supposed to (and legally obliged) to reduce our nuclear arms and the threat of use of them is illegal.
Other treaties like this govenern the use and creation of Biological and Chemical weapons.
The reason we are alloud to have them along with the other 4 official nuclear powers (and perminant memberrs of the security council) is a combination of a romantic notion that we are trustworthy enough to act as stewards for a new era of peace and security that was sure to follow the second world war and a more pragmatic reasoning that we already had these weapons and no bugger was going to get rid of them if othe other doesnt.
Iraq's position is further complicated by its belonging to the UN in that it has given up a proportion of its sovereignity by agreement to be part of a intergovernmental organisation. It hasnt withdrawn from the UN and therefore is legally compelled to continue to follow its decisions and as it is the target of current scrutiny this is being insisted upon.

there's a long list of reasons
including that after the gulf war a UN treaty banned them, and that hussein's invaded kuwait and supports terrorists and used chemical weapons to kill thousands of this own citizens, and lots and lots of other really nasty stuff.

hussein has no qualms about supplying terrorists with weapons of mass destruction, and orchestrating through them attacks on israel and the united states.

Personally I'd trust Saddam
about as far as I could throw him. But I'm still not convinced about the level of terrorist links. Still, I'm sure he would turn a blind eye to their activities, and if there's power to be held or money to make then he'd flog them his grandmother. Assuming he hadn't already.

And exactly who would stop him being in power apart from other members of the UN? Certainly not the happy folk of Iraq. You think anyone on this planet would get a vote of 99% if they had free elections?

And before anyone makes comparisons to the US administration and dictatorships, remember that in .. what, six years is it? W Bush will be a distant, bad memory (assuming he doesn't get us all killed in the meantime). Democracy at least allows for a change without threat of death.

(otis grahm, Fri 7 Mar 2003, 2:51, archived)

To put it 'simply', Don;
Whilst Iraq do not post any immediate risk to the western world bar Israel, (which is enough given the strategic value of Israel both militarily and politically) the fate of his "Weapons of Mass Destruction) is unpredictable. Given his demonstrable hatred of the West, it could serve his agenda of undermining (and ultimately retalliating against) the West and the UN by passing on his weapons to groups who are harder to track down and defeat than a designated country.

The worry is that these weapons leave Iraq (and hence strengthens Saddam's claims that he has no such weapons) and find their way into the hands of al Qaeda and their ilk.
Not only do such groups have the ability to strike in the mainland of Western nations, but the US and their partners may find themselves forced into confronting countries that they believe are host to group members (in an effort to sieze the weapons) in order to prevent such a mainland attack.
I'm sure Saddam would find that hilarious.

There is no doubt that the motives of PARTICULARLY the US (not to mention the French, Russians and possibly ourselves) regarding the fate of Iraq, and it's oil reserves in the near term are at best suspect.
However given that we have decided that Islamic radical groups are a genuine threat to the security in our own countries, the possibility that Iraq's weapons could leave the country and find the very people that have proven they will attack us, is hard to ignore.
I would like to believe that the UN weapons inspectors could have the same success as they did in South Africa. But taking the scenario above it would suggest that time is not something we have much of.

For all we know, the weapons are ALREADY gone.

however, locution

1 : a particular form of expression or a peculiarity of phrasing; especially : a word or expression characteristic of a region, group, or cultural level

A long time ago in a slightly different world
the United States designed nuclear weapons to help end World War 2 and to make a clear message to the Soviets to fuck off. The Soviets then started their own nuclear program, quite justifiably for reasons I'm too bored to list. Other world powers, like the UK jumped on the nuclear bandwagon Everyone with nukes built up a massive stockpile in a penis-measuring contest that was called "nuclear deterrence". It spun wayyyy out of control, pretty much to the point that there were enough nukes to destory the entire world several times over. Because of the massive cost of maintaining nukes and the threat they pose in any possible peaceful negotiations, the world slowly began to disarm. The major proponents of the nuclear fuck-off program, the US, and Russia, have been reducing their stockpiles ever since, as has the rest of the world. It was realized how utterly stupid it is to have nukes in the first place when we found out that in a nuclear war, there are no winners, just charred corpses and a nice variety of mutants left over.

There are many, many bad people out there. While to date, the only nuclear weapons ever used against an enemy was in the case of the US vs. Japan (part of the former USSR's reason to fear the West), there are numerous psychopaths that would be perfectly willing to use nuclear weapons against an enemy, even if a few million civilians got caught in the blast and the resulting fallout and rampage of brain-eating zombies. A treaty was suggested and signed by numerous countries that effectively bans further development of nuclear technology in developing countries, as their instability could have disastrous results when coupled with the inherent dangers of nuclear energy and weaponry. Also, these developing countries, in an effort to gain money, could sell nuclear weapons on the Black Market. This would be bad. So, nuclear weaponry is something that has been left to those who already have them, like US and Russia and so forth. Basically, this is a weak attempt to prevent other countries from blowing us and each other into small bite-sized pieces. It's also worth noting that it puts these small and weak countries completely in our power, because in order to gain financial and other forms of aid, they have to comply with the aforementioned treaty. Also, we maintain a retardedly powerful arsenal to use to keep pissant little countries in line (read: cheap oil) when they try to do foolish things like "advance" or throw a fit because they're "starving to death"

Saddam happens to be a man that is known to have used chemical and biological weapons on no less than 10 seperate occasions, several times on his own people, women and children included. He also openly supports terrorism, having put a bounty on American heads and paying off families of suicide bombers. If he were to gain possession of these types of weapons, there's no reason to believe that he wouldn't use them, or give them to terrorists for their use. North Korea, on the other hand, is lead by a fanatical and possibly insane permanent leader. This government is highly unstable and has recently been showing increasing signs og aggression.

Basically, we don't let 14th world nations have the nukes because they'll likely use them and the fact that we have them keeps those nations in our power. Simple, isn't it?
