A Job for Bruce Z

[andyfox]

"I could rip virtually all of the arguments of the so-called 'experts' on this page to shreads on purely logical grounds with enough time and effort, without even being very well 'informed'. I intend to make it my business to do exactly that each and every time they try to use their illegitimate tactics to make anti-American statements."

Though I do not consider myself an "expert", in light of the above, I look forward to your comments about the following:

The notion common to nearly all Americans that no nuclear weapons have been used since Nagasaki is mistaken. Again and again, generally in secret from the American public, U.S. nuclear weapons have been used in the precise way that a gun is used when you point it at someone's head in a direct conforntation, whether or not the trigger is pulled.

What does it say to you, if anything, about the morality of a country that repeatedly threatens to use nuclear weaponry to get its way?
