And..... if we are attacked again, by a major force, and nuclear weapons would help insure the safety of our own men and women in uniform, I hope that we use them again.

<< When the US uses them it is "ok" because we are "good", and it must have been "necessary," when other countries use them it is "bad," because they are not us, unless we say it is ok, and then it is "good." >>

Do you have a problem in believing that Fascism, and Communism, are "bad", and democracy is "good"?

America IS the good guy, because America has constantly fought for the freedom of the world, against Fascists and Communists.

You are just one of many, of the unworthy, who benefit from the sacrifices of America's sons and daughters in uniform, and then ungratefully sit back and criticize and complain.

<< Aren't you an American? You were obviously not properly programmed. >>

You said this to someone else, of course. The "programmed" Americans will continue to fight for good against evil. Your "unprogrammed" and ungrateful self, will just sit back, do nothing, and reap the rewards of America's resolve.

Sad......
