I'll tell you why.........
If we let N.Korea and Iran have nuclear weapons we would find it hard to swagger around the world with our, "my way or the highway" approach to foreign policy. The USA mightbe forced to actually listen to another culture's view on life.
WOW.

But the fact is, nuclear weapons are here. The US won't be destroying theirs anytime soon. So other nations are not allowed to protect themselves/arm themselves with weapons we won't get rid of? Explain the logic please.

The logic is that we will never use them. We shouldn't be able to get to the situation where we need to.
We have created a situation in the West where a pre-emptive nuclear strike against any nation would have after effects that would socially-economically destroy ourselves. There would also be other physical side effects that would knock us out. We would be committing suicide. If we are ever at the stage where we need to use them, we are already dead.
