Isolationism won't save you. I know you guys love this idea, but you'd kill your beloved country so fast it would be like you never existed.

No one has a right to nuclear weapons. It isn't a right. Which charter did you find this right on?
Some have them. Some don't. Ones that have intentions to use them should be stopped from having them, and if you have the capacity to do so you may have the obligation to do so.

As far as your WWII reference, America was attacked from an outside country and we used a small yield (by today’s standards) nuclear device on Japan. Since then, the US has done more for Japan than any country on the planet and has never used that capability again on any country.

Take it to another thread.
I just found a document by Clinton Bastin in which he says that nobody is in danger from plutonium exposure from Fukishima.

im sorry i just thought there was a connection,
im under the impression that there is much relevance between lots of occurrences between humans on this planet
i will leave you with this,
your negative actions however mightily blind they may be of future effects, may, and probably will still cause future negative effects. maybe not for you, and maybe not now, but there is a problem/puzzle in front of you and you are not desiring to solving it with the most supreme intelligence.

Everyone is "whining" about this. World leaders across the World are not happy about this and are trying to figure out what to do about it without being provocative because people like you.
Your sense of "Fair" is literal insanity.
And you want to solve it by giving religious extremist theocrats the power of the sun itself, and then let them spread it to unprepared nations with no infrastructure to support it. What you want isn't positive. Its radioactive.
You say anyone who thinks the WORLD should reject Irans wanting nuclear weapons should speak up, then you go on to post all those videos of Iran calling AMERICA names. What's it goona be bubba? Are they against the world or are they against us? Or, in your way of thinking, is America the world?
If that's you in your avatar and you've seen action overseas, I would think that you of all people should know better that America doesn't speak for the world. The last time I checked the majority of the world turns a deaf ear to what we (our leaders that is) say. And why? Because the rest of the world doesn't like us (our leaders) too much right now. And rightfully so IMO.
As a matter of fact, neither does the average American citizen. Seen the news lately? 84% of Americans dissapprove of Congress. the same Congress that the POTUS has to go through to authorize military (police) actions overseas.
Iran may be crazy but they're not stupid enough to take on the whole world. Or even us for that matter. Don't you think they would've done it by now if they were that serious?
Quote "Any country whose leader threatens to wipe an entire race of people off the planet should not have nuclear weapons." Like what we did to the Native Americans for example?
People like you don't learn from history and think your shiite doesn't stink.
You're right, you're not a warmonger. You're a glorified policeman who thinks you speak for America. YOU give America a bad name and it's people like you who cause the rest of the world to dislike us.
You have any idea how safe we would be from the rest of the world if we put every ounce of our arsenal around the perimeters of our country and left everyone else alone? Do you have any idea how much more prosperous we would be at the same time? Look at Japan. That's exactly what they do and they're the third most powerful economy in the world. Just 60 years after we nearly obliterated them.

None of this changes the fact that it was indeed the United States of America who first developed nuclear weapons

To be fair, actually it was a consortium of scientists from the Allied (and some Axis) nations that developed the nuclear bomb through the Manhattan Project,
