"It is the view of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the necessary air, naval, and ground operations, including the extensive strategic and tactical use of atomic bombs, be undertaken, so as to obtain maximum surprise and maximum impact on the enemy, both militarily and psychologically." The chilling decision, as communicated in the above words by Gen. Omar Bradley, was made on May 19, 1953.
It was only North Korea’s signing of the truce in July of that year that averted the nuclear destruction...
"All people in North Korea know the history of U.S. nuclear threats, massive carpet bombing, invasion and massacres against their country. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica of 1967, more than 5 million Korean people died during the war between June 25, 1950 and the conclusion of military hostilities in July 1953.
Today, Korea is threatened with a new war and the government of North Korea is preparing for military conflict."

Of course they have the right to Self-Defense....
Right up until their Self-Defense threatens the safety of other nations... be that the fall-out on their own soil that's now drifting over Japan or by selling weapons to radical groups bent on destabalizing the mid-east regions...

Its not Hypocrisy it's apples and oranges...
When we tested atomic weapons we had no idea what a monster we'd created, it was though that testing we learned the gain wasn't worth the cost...
As to selling chemicals in a free market... I'm free to sell you a gallon of gasoline under the assumption that you will use that raw product to fuel your car or lawnmower... if however I latter learn your really making molotov cocktails with it ... not only will I stop selling you that gas its quite likely i will make an attempt to stop you finding another source and making more...
According to Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, in a December 15, 1986 article, the CIA began to secretly supply Iraq with intelligence in 1984 that was used to "calibrate" mustard gas attacks on Iranian troops. Beginning in early 1985, the CIA provided Iraq with "data from sensitive US satellite reconnaissance photography ... to assist Iraqi bombing raids".
Iraqi chemical attacks on Iranian troops--and US assistance to Iraq--continued throughout the Iran-Iraq war. In a parallel program, the US defense department also provided intelligence and battle-planning assistance to Iraq.
Hypocrisy my friend is to claim a vicious animal has every right to bite you because he's afraid you'll bite him first!
