Countries with Nuclear Weapons

I was reading a Newsweek Magazine (dated July 9th, 2007) titled "181 Things you need to know now". One of the things you need to know is "Where the Nukes are Now". Here's a Google Maps View of the "Countries with Nukes" with information on Strategic Weapons, Stockpile, Megatons and Total Military Budget. I have also added information on approximate size of destructive power (in terms of number of Hiroshima's) each country possesses.
