That's because you only choose to see one side of a coin. Ever heard of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It is in place to prevent additional countries from acquiring nuclear weapons. If these weapons are allowed to proliferate dictators will use them to blackmail the rest of the world.

why should america or israel be allowed to possess them and not iran or north korea etc?
|
Because democracies use them as war deterrents. Iran and North Korea would use them to blackmail other countries.

there is just as many religious fundamentalists in america than there is in iran including the respective leaders.

Yes but the religious fundamentalists in the US are as a majority peaceful and out to help eliminate poverty, abuse, and immorality, not concur the world for their god. Plus the US has separation of church and state while Iran is a theocracy. Not to mention that Muslim fundamentalists believe in spreading their faith by sword if necessary. The only religion left on the planet that has not gone through an enlightenment period.

iran talks the big talk like wiping israel of the face of the map but they're not actually partaking in destroyng a country or a people like the americans and israelis are doing so succesfully.

Iran is by no stretch of the imagination a peaceful country. Look at their last 50 years of history. Look at their present talks concerning the legitimacy of the holocaust. It is foolish not to take the Iranian leader at his word. He is bent on destroying Israel.
As far as Israel successfully destroying countries. Every conflict Israel has been in has been started by an Muslim nation. They have a right to defend themselves.
As far as America successfully destroying countries. What country did we destroy? Iraq? That is funny really. We sent precise missiles to take out a dictator who violated every sanction he had imposed on him by the UN. Since then we have rebuilt what we have destroyed and added schools and other infrastructure in Iraq. I hardly call that destroying a country. What other country in the planet has their military rebuild a country. Oh yea the US is bad! How dare they be such humanitarians!!!
