If we accept the rationale that the use of WMD on highly populated cities was acceptable in WWII (Hiroshima/Nagasaki) because an "appropriate set of circumstances existed," then we must also accept the rationale that in the future we will choose to use WMD on highly populated cities because an "appropriate set of circumstances exists."

If the holder of the world's largest stockpile of WMD openly claims that:

1. It was acceptable for them to use WMD in the past.
2. They will use WMD in the future when they see fit.

Then no other nations will truly feel safe without their own WMD as a deterrent.

Unless we develop the capacity to approach problems from the standpoint of humanity as a whole (global vs. US-centric), then we eventually risk the survival of the human race..........
