A Country Has A Right To Have Nuclear Missles
Does a country have a right to own nukes or does other countries have the right to prevent other countries from having nukes?

Sure, as long as they're aiming them at the right countries and there's oil involved.

Philosophically I agree with the statement, a country is sovereign and determines its own destiny. HOWEVER, unless we believe in pure pacifism we also have to say that the neighboring countries have every right to respond to their quest for weapons by attacking them.

So yes North Korea has a right to have nuclear weapons, and yes the neighbors separately or altogether have a right to use force to remove the threat of those weapons.

The right to have nuclear missiles? I would have to say no on that one. A country has the right to seek out alternative energy from fossil fuels, but unfortunately, some countries cannot be trusted with nuclear power because of the development of nuclear warheads.

No counrty has the right to carry biological wepons that can harm millions of not only there own people but people around the world. Once one country decides to get nuclearar arms then the rest have to, if no one had them then their would be none.. Lets go back to rock and stick era

They don't have a right. They have an ability, if they have scientists capable of building one.

Of course, countries wouldn't seek nuclear weapons if there weren't aggressor nations nor any hypocrisy about who can have them and who can't.

Pakistan is okay to have them, despite the possibility of Al Qaeda taking over? And Iran can't have nuclear energy (the CIA's reports say Iran is not now capable of making a bomb) yet Israel has 200 undeclared nuclear weapons without any criticism?

Such hypocrisy by "western" nations is why more countries want nuclear weapons.
