Just amazed that Chris would think of using the Bomb
Just to keep a perspective - an eyewitness to the hiroshima bomb was behind a wall on an elementary girl's school exercise yard when the first atomic bomb 'deployment' went off. About 100 young girls were out at the time, lined up in front of the teacher. The first flash wave from the bomb came through and burned off all of their clothes, and also caused the skin on their backs and legs to blister and fall off. The witness said that the skin on their legs fell down around their ankles like loose socks, the skin from their backs peeled down like a skirt, reaching about to their knees.

I have never quite figured out what the justification for an act like that upon 10 and 11 year old children would have been. I'm sure there are equally horrible stories from the fire-bombing of Dresden or Tokyo, or the nagasaki bomb. I saw a lot of children maimed by napalm, mines and shrapnel in Viet Nam.

People who talk about "nuke 'em" or "bomb them into the stone age" should think for a minute about the real people just trying to live their lives who are the real recipients of this horror. They should put themselves or their family into the picture and see how they feel...
