The nuclear question work entirely against your argument, and illustrates the naivte of the 'everyone or nobody' concept as totally unworkable.
'Nukes bring peace' mostly only if they are in the hands of a few major, stable powers, otherwise, nuclear proliferation probably is very bad.
These kinds of moral absolutions, i.e. projecting 'rights' into nations etc. (either we all have the right or nobody does) are pragmatically irrational.
Every nation is different, in a different set of circumstances, there's always some degree of moral relativism, but there's some degree of objectivity as well.
We have to balance the forces to figure out what to do in a complex world, and the rules may not always be so cut and dry.
