I'm afraid it isn't as simple as just 'trusting' you. The reality of the situation is that you're right, there is no such thing as a level playing field in dealing with nuclear weapons. The problem is that the playing field is so skewed in the Middle East, that Arabs ars practically slipping off the side into the ocean. While the giving everyone nukes option is hardly my first choice, giving one crazy side a nuke, and painting the other side as too crazy to have nukes is bad news. No one should have nukes, and in a perfect world no one would. Because the Pandora's Box has already been broken, we have to think and act accordingly. Israel has nukes, and neither you nor I can take them. The US has nukes, and nothing short of an act of God is going to take them. Iran shouldn't have nukes, but in this case they need them.
But it's all moot, since there is no proof that they are developing nuclear weapons. Let's not forget that.
