The issue there is that declaring conventional war on someone who is making WMD's means you losing really quickly. So you need WMD's to ensure you can stand against them. And therein lies the entire history of military development. You can't enforce anything without force. And he who has the most force has the advantage.

Declaring conventional war on someone who has WMDs, especially if they have a lot of them, is a fool's game. Blocking them from making them, if they don't already have them, is a different story.
