We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Doomsday Clock changed - 5 minutes to midnight
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day

We were lucky to back out of that false pact------In the 60's and 80's we were in need of it, but not now, that pact is old-It's funny how Iran and N. Korea are involved too--------I wonder whats going to happen in the next few years with them--

What is the advantage of not being under this treaty now, as opposed to it being necessary back in the Cold War?

The finest in all the lands! You can search the world through and never find better quality bullshits.

They knew that if they attacked us, we'd take them down as well. The Soviets were different because they thought it best to practice self-preservation. But those psychos running Iran and North Korea don't seem to realize (or care) that attacking the States or Israel would be the suicide of them and their entire countries. That's what makes them more dangerous."
Nail... hammer... BAM! Right on the head!

Of course a nuclear attack is possible, but unless we just DO NOTHING, then there's no reason to think we're closer now than we were during the cold war.

I hear ya. I got lucky this semester: my biology teacher LOVES Wikipedia and urges people to read something new from it every day. I'm strongly thinking about knocking her up so we can get married after her prison term. What say you?

India and Pakistan, the United States, whose GW Bush backed out of the Missle Treaty and thrown away what Kennedy and Reagan worked, Iran and North Korea performing nuclear tests and developments under the UN incompetent and abrasive sight..."
Kennedy and Reagan's work is not lost at all. We are in a different game now. America and much of the western world have a hard time understanding this, but it is all a matter of religion. They have a hard time understanding it because they like to think religion is outdated and ignorant, and it can be in some cases. The soviets were atheist, when you are an atheist you want to preserve you life as long as you can, because once that is spent, you belief system tells you there is nothing else. The Muslims believe in an afterlife, therefore their death means nothing. This is why they have no trouble blowing themselves up on demand. Because their doctrine teaches that they will reach the ultimate level in the afterlife if they sacrifice themselves in a holy war. Japan was this same way. It is why the kamikaze pilots had no problem slamming their selves into enemy ships. People in the western world can't seem to comprehend this, they seem to think that you can reason with Muslim terrorist and talk them out of it. No matter what rewards you can offer them on earth, they will never compare to the rewards they believe they will receive in the afterlife.

Now, some people argue that the effects of such weapon would be concentrated at a close range and would not affect the rest of the world, let alone neighboring countries, and the only aftermatch would be civillians dying a horrible death. The same kind of people that go against every single thing science has proven about the obvious effects of such weapons are the same kind of people that deny global warming to be caused by polution and blame it to be a liberal commie invention to end freedom or something (might as well deny the Holocaust, as some of these people are the ones who happily sang with Borat to "throw the Jew down the well").
What is the porpouse of achieving a higher atomic arsenal other than the obvious lobby from companies who produce this sort of stuff? What is the target? If it is so obvious who the target is and that the effects of the bomb will not harm the planet, why not nuke them now? Are you REALLY expecting a M.A.D. assurance from "teh evil terrorists"? And who are they? B'aath? Osama Bin Laden? North Korea? OK if you actually escalate to the point of using a nuclear weapon against any of those targets (and the only one easily found on Google Maps is North Korea), if you reach THAT point, don't you think it'll be in a scenario in which NY City is vanished through a nuclear bomb? WHAT is the point? Please prove me that ripping off missle treaties and bringing NUCLEAR WEAPONS into the game is best for the world, and explain me a scenario in which this sort of weapon would be used. Please.

1- GW Bush goes "General Ripper" on us and strike North Korea first - and whatever the hell he wants to bomb as well, the highest the number of megadeaths on the first night, the better.
2- The United States waits until North Korea attacks Japan - which is as close as they can get so far. So we'll have millions of Japanese and Korean civillians dead.
And on BOTH alternatives, you'll have a nuclear winter than will vanish humankind from the Earth - which is a good thing, if you think about it.
So PLEASE, again, anyone, give me a good reason for keeping nuclear weapons. Without using the words "just shut up" or "liberal commie bastard".

Whoa! So you're saying that TWO bombs will wipe out the human race? We've set off what could collectively be compared to that in the past (especially considering North Korea doesn't have the "Big Boomers" yet; oh God, I just quoted Jar Jar in a conversation about politics! The end IS near!). Nuclear weapons are damn dangerous, but they're not frickin' asteroids.

Ok then I'll take your proposition-
1.What the hell is up with you people that think "General Bush" is the fucking King of the nation?Do you have any sliver of an idea on how the American Government works? NEWS FLASH! HE'S NOT! HE CAN'T FUCKING GO "GENERAL RIPPER" on his own--like he would do that!? It has never been done and never will be done you crazy person-
2.What do you mean wait until they attack Japan? What do you mean thats as close as they can get? The TaiPong II missile can reach my home of sunny San Fransisco. Just because you saw one of them fail a test, does not mean they don't have the capability-
3. Hehe--Nuclear Winter that will vanish man kind from the earth? Your a real defeatist--you don't think that your people will be the ones that will get out of this one? Nuclear weapons are a powerful, powerful deterrent---the baddest of the bad are working on getting them----there is so many reason why we need to keep Nuclear weapons. Ric, this ain't the cold war! Get out of that 1976 frame of mind!

I'm glad you brought this up, as I keep forgetting to. Unlike so many people think, the President really doesn't have nearly as much power as people think he does. He's got just a little bit more power than the Queen of England; most of the U.S. governmental power comes from Congress.
