Uh, there are international organizations and treaties to deal with this. You deal with this sort of thing diplomatically, because the odds are if you invade a country that's developed The Bomb, and that country realizes that it's on the verge of losing said Bomb, the odds are pretty good that that Bomb is going to be used.
My larger point here is that no one country - not even the United States - should be the final arbiter of who can have what. We have chemical weapons, and have sold them to other nations. We have nuclear weapons, and have sold the material for them to other states. We're contributors to the problem of proliferation, so now who are we to say that nobody else can possess the weapons that we ourselves possess?
Regardless of who we're talking about, that sort of attitude is hypocritical at best.
