seems to be a burning topic at the moment? Just listen to oz news today and there was a discussion on this very topic. China apparently is rushing madly to develop its own nuclear arsenal [friendly or foe?] who knows. Britain has none but France does have a small one - wonder why? maybe just domestic friendly? North Korea has a smallish one that sometimes does a test run. Iran still has one - just!! etc etc - Nuclear of course can be used peacefully to our benefit but also against us to our sorrow -

I don't like the idea of living in a "nuclear world" with no international controls. there may be more ?? the increase in nuclear arsenals for war seems horrifying - but it would fit one description of humans finally obliterating themselves as a species with just a few cave-persons groups alive who may have nuclear sicknesses?? urghh!!
 
Attacks on Iran will only solidify North Korea’s commitment to its own nuclear arsenal, accelerating its alignment with Beijing and Moscow to counter U.S. led pressure.
