If there aren't any nukes, well, then good. Better safe than sorry.
Oh, I'm sure a lot of people are really worried about this. They want to be safe, just as anyone wants to be safe. Iran could be really dangerous with nuclear capabilities, not to mention they promised not to develop them.

I think a lot of governments are also worried about being labeled warmungers like America. Whether you think America was justified in the Iraqi war or not, it's hard to deny that a lot of people really don't like us anymore. A lot of the world hates us because we seem like a huge threat to them, and they fear us for the same reason. The last thing another country wants to do is to be put in the "opinion doghouse" with us. This enteres into their minds because they depend on foreign relations for their econemies. America's econemy is more thans strong enough to take a few of our allies being pissed at us, but few other countries have such a buffer.

That's just a guess, but it seems to make sense.
