The problem with attacking a nation after they make a nuclear weapon is that they'd have nuclear weapons.
The real response to the threat of a nation that's developing nuclear weapons with the intention of using them against one own nation/allies, should there be no political recourse, is the pre-emptive strike.
The justification for war is pretty simple: there is a limited amount of space/resources/power in the world, and everybody wants more of it and not everybody gets along. Iit comes down to whether or not your nation/allies are the dominate force or the dominated - and that at times is decided by war.
