When China wanted to develop a nuclear weapon, the nationalistic message was if the Soviets and the Americans have it, why can't China?
Same thing with Iran, North Korea, and any other nation. How come they can't develop nuclear weapons?
The so called non-proliferation treaty is even hypocritically worded. It doesn't say getting rid of nuclear weapons. It says "don't share it." Is that right?
Mod Note: The use of can't refers towards why isn't it permissible rather than a question of not being able.
I thought they had nuclear weapons. My question is why can North Korea make nuclear bombs and Iran couldn't do it. Also, why could Pakistan and India make nukes and Iran couldn't do even though they have tried for years to make one.

The Vatican should be the next entity to acquire the bomb. they are more worthy.
It is always a concern when even one more member is added to the nuclear club. And when that member is a paranoid, irrational, aggressive nation like Iran or North Korea, then the idea is especially frightening. I think it was a mistake for the United States to have held Israel back from taking out Iran's nuclear facilities.
the question of iran vs. north korea is interesting. there are probably more energy interests in the middle east that make it more important to prevent a nuclear iran. the other thing is that people already know they can do nothing to change north korea's ambitions.
Why N. Korea can't develop nuclear devices? But they did. Your question is 15-20 years late.
Actually why Syria or ISIS aren't allowed own nuclear weapons? We need to play it fair and everyone should own their hydrogen bombs. What's fair is fair.
The question you probably wanted to ask is why the civilized world isn't happy with N. Korea owning nuclear weapons and ways to distribute them? Well, one look at Kim Jong-un is enough to answer the question.
Citizens of N. Korea really need some food on their plates, lets start with that.

i am aware that they have nuclear capabilities. my question was more principle and philosophical. indeed, if a few countries can have it, then other countries should be able to have it too.
if you want to look at kim jong un, should people look at American behavior abroad, in iraq, afghanistan, etc.? at least, kim didn't invade another country.
North Korea does have nukes and they are currently working on a missile system that will give them long range like the West coast of the US. A few weeks back there was a big uproar when North Korea tested what many thought was a "H" bomb.
The fear of other countries gaining nuclear weapons is the thought that they would actually use them. The question would then be what would the world do about it? if say India nuked Pakistan.
If the old saying "An armed society is a polite society" has any validity, every country on earth should have nukes.
