So many right wingers see nukes as this almost literally phallic national virility symbol, don't they?

Freud would genuinely have had a field day.

Either all nuclear weapons should be eliminated (unrealistic), or more countries should have them. The current system is a handful of countries imposing and maintaining an unfair advantage over everybody else.

Given that nukes can't be "dis-invented" unfortunate though that is, I've always thought we should try to get numbers down to a bare minimum. Enough to put us off the idea of using them, and no more.

Of course, that may not be terribly realistic.
