True: America is the only nation to even drop a bomb, unnecessarily according to Eisenhower.
True: America has over, what is it, 2000 more nukes than anyone else?
So based on that, I would say that since we've decided Iran can' t be trusted with nuclear weapons, the U.S. can't be trusted with them either. I say if Bush is so adamant about stopping Iran's nuclear weapons program, he might want to start by getting rid of ours.

"America has one of the worst human rights records of an existing nation": False. Before you post fiction like this, we'd at least like to see a source where you dream up this crap. You might also spend some time in some 3rd world nations where the justice systems are completely corrupt before you spout out again.
"America is the only nation to even drop a bomb, unnecessarily according to Eisenhower." Funny you use Eisenhower here, as he later adamantly defended the right of the U.S. to test and expand its nuclear program, albeit for defensive reasons. And most agree that America would've taken heavy casualties if we had tried to take Japan by land.
"America has over, what is it, 2000 more nukes than anyone else?" Who knows, but its in the best interests of the US that others do not know.
Is the point of your post that every nation should have the right to obtain nuclear weapons and that the US should not try to stop/slow the proliferation of nukes?
