However, the possibility of their own death does not seem to deter them so a nuclear attack is imaginable. I just hope and pray that the imaginable does not become reality. <a href="http://anniekatec.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Annie Kate</a> Birmingham AL I certainly hope the terrorists do not begin to do nuclear attacks.

If we get rid of them all, that doesn't take away the knowledge of how to make them. I would hate to be without our own weapons when the terrorists have acquired theirs. The fact that we have them, is what makes other people want them. If you know your neighbor doesn't like you and has guns but you don't, would you want one? Nukes ARE dangerous for anyone to have and the real solution is to get rid of them all, then to monitor all of the materials that go into making those weapons. If all nations agree to split and share those resources evenly, and routinely allow each other to inspect each others use of those materials, that would greatly diminish the threat of a nuclear weapon being used, but of even being created in the first place. That of course would rely on leaders agreeing that Nuclear Weapons are a bad idea. For a bunch of educated leaders, they can be really stupid sometimes. Maybe they've reasoned themselves into why it's okay, the same way terrorists reason themselves into thinking it's okay to attack innocent people to get attention. Everyone is Self-Righteous, especially the people who say they're not, but when your views put other people in harms way, the majority of human-kind would agree it's a bad decision.

It makes sense, no more war with any country, but logically then there should have been no war against Nazis or Japanese. You cannot have it both ways.

No one likes to be told what to do within their own country. What was the need for us to invade Iraq. Just because Bush and Cheney had a ultra motive, we stupid Americans gave them a big Gift by agreeing to invade Iraq. Now look at the price we all are paying. We must first and for most take care of our own citizens which our government is not doing but has the money to spend on war. Wake UP and tell our government NO MORE WAR WITH ANY COUNTRY. ONLY THEN WE CAN BE SAFE. We could be a safe country provided we Americans stop being arrogent and stop bulling other countries with our views and power.
