Hi MM. All I'm saying is that if terrorists get a bunch of nukes, it will be horrendous for those affected, but no big deal in the grand scheme of things. There are 6 billion of us and after quite horrendous conflicts with umpty million deaths, we just fill in the gaps and carry on and those killed barely leave a gap in the human population graph.

It's a bit like the big crashes in the stock market. They are awful at the time, but looking back at the graphs from 20 years later, they are just little bumps in the graph, meaning something to those who remember, but not much to others.

Nobody is going to be "On The Beach", waiting for the radiological end of all [other than the foolish, who are probably right now waiting up the mountain, for The Rapture].

It would be a good idea to stop Osama & Co getting said nukes.
