I don't think India, Pakistan, North Korea or anyone else should have nuclear weapons. Those countries who are still developing them have no respect for them at all. That being said, when was the last time India threatened to wipe someone off the map? India at least sorta gets the concept of MAD. Iran's understanding of the matter begins and ends with 'Allah is supreme'. In short, if they have them, there isn't a whole lot stopping them from using nukes.
