text: The Non-Proliferation Treaty to which the US is already a signatory states that the 5 original nuclear powers will reduce and eventually eliminate it nuclear weapons.  I think a few nuclear weapons, and the lack of a defense against them, actually makes the world a safer place.  The real goal should be to get the numbers of these weapons down to the point where a conflict between 2 great powers doesn't mean the end for the rest of us as well.
