If you are asking in a purely esoteric "Would you want a pony?" mode: Sure. If it guarranteed a nuclear weapon free world, I would be glad to be rid of our nuclear weapons. Even without nuclear weapons, the US has the most powerful military in the world by a large margin (I believe this to be true - further, without nukes, we could divert those expenses into strengthening our conventional forces even more).

As a practical matter, it's just not going to happen b/c no such guarrantee could ever be given.
