Hi LindyBill; Re: "Someone sets off an Atom bomb and wipes out one of our cities, and then wants to negotiate? This is nutty, and impossible to believe as a scenario." Uh, what do you call the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? And didn't the US call on the Japanese to negotiate? If I recall, the surrender terms were modified by the US from "unconditional", to "emperor gets to keep his position". That's called "negotiations". Let me repeat my point: The historical fact is that humans negotiate. How many cities should we let disappear before we negotiate. -- Carl P.S. Sorry for the "superiority dance", it's quite late and I'm nastier as it gets later.
