My Greatest Fear Regarding Nuclear Weapons

[ThomWV]

I'm not much worried about Iran getting an atom bomb, North Korea either for that matter. Of the nations that have nuclear weapons the vast majority not only do not threaten anyone with them but they have never detonated one against an enemy. Only one of the nations that has the things has ever opened the evil box and used it. That same nation, or nation, now threatens others with its storehouse of death. My greatest fear is that we will use one again. I fear it because if we do use one again it will open the door for every nation that has one to use it. Possibilities like Pakistan against India, North Korea against Japan, or Israel against multiple targets come immediately to mind once the taboo of first-strike has been broken.

I'm not afraid of 'terrorists' who can do little harm to our country, I'm afraid of George Bush.

Impeach now!
