In addition the united states is the only nation to have violently used nuclear weapons. We are not in the clear just because we are 'the good guys'. We must apply stringent standards of moral behaviour to ourselves as well as to 'terrorist states'.

You think? Yeah, we used them. And in all the conflicts we've been in since, we've never used them. Weatherman's comment previously about us dropping the atomic bombs "without batting an eye" is just plain wrong. There have been many eyes batted then and since about whether to drop the bombs.

Of course we havent used them since. Every major conflict we have been in since WWII there has been another government that could nuke us back, thus rendering th e nuke to little more than show.

What i ment about batting an eye is that no one has called for the only nation who has proven their will to use nukes offensivly to drop their nuclear program.
