Not one country who has weapons of mass destruction has the moral highground to say, or participate in saying who else should have them.

Quite right - but who needs the moral high ground? Might is right - especially when you are talking about weapons of mass destruction.
The moral high ground was never there, to try and hang on to it now is just a cursory gesture to placate the few people who care about such things. War is about exerting your power over others, for your own reasons, not for morality or for some greater, higher good. You do it because it helps you. Your country does it because it is in your country's interests.
Whether you look short or long-term as you persue your interests depends on your president at the time.
