i just don't understand this aggression - if you discover your next door neighbor owns a big gun, and he and you are on bad terms, you aren't allowed to shoot him because he poses a potential threat.

Probably has to do with the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. The countries that didn't have nukes at the time it was signed are not supposed to be allowed to develop them. The ones that did have nukes are supposed to work on disarming instead of building more.
