Why does anyone need a gun?
I own several guns. I have them because I would use them to defend myself and my family against "bad" people. I can specifically target those who would do me harm and attempt to defeat them.
Nukes will kill all kinds of people. Innocents and enemies and they will taint the ground for years and years to come.
There was a time and a place for nukes, and I would argue that the two that were used did achieve a greater good, but we are past that.
All of the "civilized" nations that the U.N. has decided can have nukes should all decide to scrap them in my opinion. If the U.N. took a stand against nukes in all forms and in all hands, because of their indiscriminate and devastating potential, confronting unstable seeming countries like Iran would be much easier.
I have read several interviews with Iran's president, and he is not half as crazy as everyone thinks. The 5 members of the U.N. security council are complete hypocrites. Why should they all have nukes, and then decide who else can and cannot have them?
Answering my question with another question usmarine2007 was a little pointless. Do you really not see the difference between a gun and a nuke? Michael Moore tries to make the same argument in Bowling For Columbine. Are you as knuckle-headed as him?
