You don't think they are keeping all those nukes tuned up and ready to go just for fun do you? They really are planning on using them. They have got co-ordinates loaded, GPS primed, people in position, radar locked on, as you read this. It is all ready to go at a moment's notice. Hmmmmm. I wonder if they're using Snaptrack to position these things. You think they're paying the proper royalties?

Maurice...I am not sure where you are going with all this...but I'll just add a few thoughts... The last atomic war ended the last world war. I'm here because of that decision to drop the A-bomb because my Dad was slated to command a bombing force during the invasion of Japan...he was lucky enough to come back from England...let alone try to survive a D-Day in Asia. I suspect many here had fathers who could have ended up in that invasion force as well and would have met the same odds of not coming back. I don't know if you are confused about who started what in Japan, but I am sure you know who finished it. There is no question in my mind that the decision to drop the A-Bomb was the right one. I can't answer what will happen in the future, but to suggest an American President will causually drop a nuke is just not very cricket. Rick
