That's the same question that was asked about the hydrogen bomb. The only answer is deterrence, not unilateral disarmament. Unfortunately, deterrence presumes a rational enemy who prefers to live. When the enemy is a religious extremist who thinks martyrdom is the only sure path to heaven, or a deranged psychopath indifferent to or unaware of the prospect of dying, deterrence can break down. But most of the time, it works. In a fallen world, that's about the best I think we can do.
