To me, your logic is equivalent to saying, "if cops have guns, then criminals need guns, too."

You seem to be starting from the premise that every country should be considered exactly the same as every other country, regardless of past history and present rhetoric.

I don't agree with those premises.

A similar logic can also be applied to N. Korea and Iran. How can the US expect these nations not to acquire nuclear weapons when the US itself is heavily armed with nuclear weapons.

If your trapped on an island with a couple of psychopaths and you have a gun but they don't, you probably want to keep it that way.
