a nuclear weapon is a terror weapon
You can attach any lable you want to nukes, but these two points still remain.

(1) They ended a *very* bloody conflict (WWII). Using nukes killed fewer Japs than a ground assault and killed zero U.S. troops.

(2) If the world didn't know we had a stockpile, we would not be safe. If Chinah, Korea, Pakistan, Iran (the list goes on - I don't know them all) has nukes and we didn't, we would be pushed around all the tim.


So go ahead - call nukes whatever name you want. We still need them. That sucks, but thats life.


Fixed ideas are like a cramp in the foot - the best remedy against it is to tread on it.
