I don't think that if we gave up half our nukes, Iran or N. Korea would give up theirs. I DO think if we were seen to be working HARD to "build down" our and Russia's arsenal, we'd have the moral authority to gain the support of MANY more countries than we have now. Maybe enough to force a real, meaningful UN action against Iran, with a majority of the world's countries participating.

You're crazy. The reason the UN may not take action against Iran is not because the US has lots of nukes - rather, its because Russia and China have large economic ties to Iran. If the UN punishes Iran, Russia and China will also suffer, so the UN probably won't punish Iran. In other words, its 100% self interest, not the US's nuclear capability.
