Hawkman let me explain again. The statisticians say it is a statisitical ceertainty if we keep nuclear weapons we wil use them.

You're such a moron if you think you can sum up human decision making solely by the use of statistics. I suggest you rely upon game theory instead.

What we have to worry about are non-governmental entities (eg: Al Qaida) getting ahold of them because they CERTAINLY would use them if given the opportunity.

A nuke is nothing more than a Weapon of Mass Destruction. One could accomplish the same desired effect by setting up mass drivers in orbit and launching asteroids at various cities.

In fact, the fire bombing of Tokyo in 1945 killed more people than both Fat Man and Little Boy combined. But no one remembers that fire bombing, and everyone remembers the 2 nukes we dropped.

YOu really need to gain some respect for science!

And you need to gain some respect for the human instinct for self-preservation. You don't start a gunfight with someone who's just as quick as you.
