Re: "Nukes are always a concern, but truthfully, our nukes don't scare me near as much as other countries' nukes."

>>> Of course....

Re: "I honestly don't believe the US would be the first to push the button. Tactical nukes could actually be a prudent and humane option in many scenarios."

>>> Aren't those two statements contradictory"

>>> Anyway, that's what the US policy review envisions: authorizing first use (changing our long policy against first use.)

The problem is that our nukes scare the hell out of other countries when our pres wants to leave them as an option on the table for a war with Iraq. I'm all for putting the safety of our soldiers first which is why I'm generally against the kind of sabre rattling that bush does. If you make enough threats you will have to back some up or you loose credibility. I don't think we can tell the rest of the world you can't have nukes but we can.
