My three biggest problems with tactical nuclear weaponry: - that there are humans beings anywhere, especially in the US, who accept paychecks to develop these things. - that there are humans beings anywhere, especially in the US, who want to use them. - that there are people in the US who can walk, talk and chew gum at the same time who cannot understand how easily these things will proliferate throughout the world in the years to come. We are so dang worried about a terrorist getting hold of a big nuclear device. How much more realistic that a government and/or a terrorist will get hold of one of these lighter, smaller, easier to conceal devices? Pakistan proliferates nuclear technology to everyone who wants it and we give them billions in aid. Let's see this equation: OBL killed 3,000 people using airplanes. We invade Iraq because OBL committed 911 while sending 10,000 troops after OBL. -vs- Pakistan proliferates nuclear technology to goodness knows how many places including Libya and NK. Now that we've lost track of OBL, we need Pakistan's help in getting him. Whazza? None of this makes any sense.
