And what I will never understand is why is it ok for all the other countrys to have nukes but "very bad" for Iran, etc. I am tired of the "they are crazy" response I get. After all only the US has ever actually used nukes. Twice.
(I favor abolition of all weapons, especially nukes so I am not advocating Iran getting one, just critical of the irrational response I get from US citizens on this.)
I remember reading an article in the Boston Globe back in about '84 or maybe '85 - on an important nuking anniversary- that this was totally unnecessary, that Japan was about to surrender. It made me bonkers. So it seems to me that the country to fear is the US.
