I honestly don't care. The threat of certain "bad" countries have nuclear weapons is incredibly overrated imo. If we all have nukes then it is not a big deal. Iran and NK won't consider using them.

But I do know why politicians make such a big deal about it. Fear wins elections.

You are making an assumption that all leaders are rational and that they will not use nukes because of retaliation. What about some crazed leader who wants to go out in a blaze of glory?

Also, what about countries that will filter a nuke to terrorists?

Wow you gotta love a left winger speaking honestly about his feelings....

Ya, North Koreas leadership would never consider using them , I mean that would be like starving half your coutry while spending money to develop something youll never use....Oh wait a minute...hmmm

Thank G-d we have a strong president like GWB in office right now this type of thinking will get us nuked.

I voted that no country should have them, but my second choice would be that each country has one.

You are only on pace to make about 1/2 that, if you count every post that you make, and I do.

Kneejerk, conditioned by Fox et al. and simple minded, as displayed by you daily here.

If the regime in NK didnt have Nukes, NK would have been invaded last week.

So if you are the ruling elite biulding a Nuke to balance out the ovewhelming superiority of your foes convetional weaponry, and existence of said nuke is the only thing keeping said regime in power then starving your totaly dominated civilain population is entirely rational if maintainace of power is your primary goal.

Using your nuke premptively is the worst move possible by the same criteria.
