I dont think the world will be safe until everyone has nuclear weapons.

Minor technicality. Doesn't mean I am clueless though.

Oh yea thats a great idea, while your at it why not give them all chemical, and biological weapons too, along with a ICBM to launch them anywhere in the world they want to?
I don't think anybody should have weapons of mass destruction. I wish they'd never been invented.

Were it not for nuclear weapons, there would likely have already been at least one more war at least twice as devastating as World War II by now.

Actually if it wasn't for nuclear weapons, there wouldn't be the threat of total world desturction, or nuclear winter. I don't know about you but I'd much rather move from a war zone, than watch a mushroom cloud going up while I wait for the blast to kill me. Even if you survive teh inital blask what about the radiation that lasts for 1000 years?
I'm not anti-nuclear, just anti-nuclearbomb

What about North Korea? That other dastardly villian from the "Axis of Evil" They still getting a free pass?

How about Pakistan? While not an explicit member of the "Axis of Evil" they continue to harbor (using the neo-con threshhold of "if they pass thru a country they did it with that gov'ts aid and abetting) the worst of them, the AQ terrorists, in the outer regions and provinces.
And don' forget that they are a Muslim country who possess "the bomb" and were responsible for passing criticle info to Iran (and IMO more likely others)

If I die from a nuclear blast...well, I die from a nuclear blast.

I don't live my life every day worrying about some podunk country half a world away with a crackpot dictator. I don't gain anything by being stressed out and worried about a nuclear holocaust. If it happens, it happens.

I trust that the people in power, while stupid and corrupt, aren't stupid enough to plunge the world into Armeggedon over stupid crap.

Of course, my plan for a nuclear launch is to just get in my car and drive towards ground zero. Less traffic and more fireworks...

We'd all die from nuclear bomb blasts. But if I were you I wouldn't trust the people in power any farther than I could throw tham.
