Re: Does Iran have a "Right" to Nuclear Weapons?
OK is different from having the right. They have the same inherent rights as anyone else, since we are all created equal. Thats not the same as saying its OK for our enemies to be able to destroy us. Its morally correct for an individual to anticipate an attack and defend against it.
And now they might withdraw their support of it. but taking your point since North Korea did not sign it and Israel did not sign it (and a couple of others I think) it would be okay for them to have and use nuclear weapons.
We have no moral superiority (short of colonial power) to dictate to other nations how they should live, our house is not in that good of order at this point on any number of issues
