That's why NK and now Iran wanted nukes in the first place - self defense.

If that's the case, we have no right to tell them they can't. Who are we, anyway? Or, do they want them to deter Israel from aiming their
land grabbing in their direction? I'm not pro-Iran, I'm just looking at this situation from their side.

NK, on the other hand, doesn't hide their ambitions, (which are probably not the NK people's ambitions.)
