re: Yeah... nuking used to seem so cool, until I realized that it was real people who were getting nuked. Z, it's weird. 5-10-20-30 years ago people had a real aversion to using nukes. Now, suddenly, it seems some people have become very enthusiastic about the idea; very comfortable with nuking "our enemys". I'm not sure what is going on. Maybe it's the "superpower" machismo... we never used to be the only superpower, we always had the guys that would kill us if we killed them. (Still do). We were as scared as they were. Maybe it's the religious thing? Whatever... it's not a sign that the world is making progress. In fact we are becoming more primitive. A new dark ages? John
