Reply #20: No one KNOWS if they would use them

But frankly, there are more than enough -- too many -- nukes in the world already. Sooner or later, someone WILL use them. Hell, it might be the USA that uses them (particularly since we're the only nation that has ever used them so far). I will add that we have managed to restrain ourselves from using them since WWII.

No one should use them, under any circumstances.

Do I want to take the risk that Iran, or North Korea, or whoever else, may use nukes in the future? Hell no.

I don't have a problem with a nation developing nuclear power for energy-generation purposes. But at the first sign of weaponization, somebody has to stop it. And I don't know how you do that.

But I know I don't trust a whole lot of people with nukes, because, as the saying goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
