Historical evidence runs counter to that Barry. Apart from the two weapons dropped on Japan in time of war, the US has never been to the fore in advocating first-use of nuclear weapons, they have always promoted their deterrant value.

Actually historical evidence doesn't. When you say "apart from the two weapons dropped on Japan in time of war" another way of saying it would be "the USA is the only country ever to have dropped nuclear weapons on a civilian people". And the clause "in time of war" is irrelevant unless you you believe they can be dropped in times of peace.

As for the inspection of nuclear weapons facilities does the USA allow other countries to inspect its nuclear weapons preparations? No it doesn't.

The USA has a long history of invading other countries, and nothing can take that away except a falsification of history. It has a long history of supporting dictators (including Saddam of course).

Nuclear weapons are contemplated and probably still will be.
