Hell, you don't even need to have such destructive weapons to be a target of Bush's military. Saddam didn't possess bio/chem weapons yet his country was bombed back into the dark ages. Maybe other nations SHOULD be looking to actively acquire nuclear bombs, if only to deter an attack by the Americans?

I'm not comforted by the fact that the US has so many nukes, and I think the country is very dangerous under its current leadership, but still I don't want other rogue states to get nuclear weapons.
If you're worried about terrorists getting them, then I posted on the other thread that the more countries that have nuclear weapons, the more likely it is that terrorists will eventually get hold of one. So for me your first sentence makes no sense.
