Because the power to incinerate millions of people should not be in the hands of a psycopath. There is a difference between the peaceful economic growth of a country and the obtaining of weaponry with the capability to vaporize many thousands of people in a split second. Even nuclear power is acceptable (such as in the case of Iran.) Every country has the right to pursue nuclear power (no matter what certain administrations think) and this is even acceptable in the nuclear non-prolifertaion treaty iirc. But when it comes to nuclear weaponry it is a completely different story.
