One reason maybe is that the US is bankrupt and can just no longer afford to spend money on weapons systems that don't work.
And who was it supposed to stop? Iran is at least a decade away from a warhead, if they get sine outside help. Pakistan and India are too worried about blowing each other up to worry about nuking any other part of the world. Unless the "war on terror" continues to destabilize Pakistan and puts it into the hands of a radical Muslim leadership. North Korea needs their nukes as a shield against invasion by the US and S Korea.
Who else has nukes> Russia, of course, Israel has likely more than France and Britain, all of who are, ostensibly allies. Iraq was never close to having one, so that takes the middle east out of the equation. So who exactly was this built to deter?
