[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 713184, member: 2189"] I think the one question to be considered these days especially from an American POV is that nukes weapons are for all practical purposes, obsolete. With weapons now more capable of precise targeting and America almost holding a type of monopoly of such at this time, from a certain POV, trying to eliminate nukes as a form of competition makes sense. How effective? This approach is rightly open for debate but the truth is, nuke weapons have actually been "weapons of terror" used effectively by nationstates for a very long time rather than actual weapons used in theater conflict. In 1992' Adam Curtis made a 6 part documentry for the BBC entitled, [URL="http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/pandoras-box/"][COLOR=red]"Pandora's Box" [/COLOR][/URL]and episode 2 brings out some very interesting points about the Coldwar era that IMO points to the the use of nukes as a nationstate induced terror on other populations as well as it's own. BTW: For those of you who decry the current central planning of Washington DC and believe it nothing more than an old Soviet ideal brought to America, you might watch episode 1 of Pandora's Box. If Washington is bringing a Soviet style life to America you'll understand they are in truth bringing it back from which it originated. :surprised: [/QUOTE]
