Yikes is right... [img]redface.gif[/img]

Pfaah...

The one thing people need to understand, is that there are very few people dumb enough to actually use these against another country. Short of Osama bin Laden, and some other terrorists, no one's that crazy.

Take North Korea. Uses say one nuke on NYC (unprovoked)

1) South Korea takes initiative, probably with US, Japanese and other reinforcements.
2) China moves in, to satiate US.
3) US carriers move from straits of Taiwan to cut off supply to North Korea.
4) North Korea lasts maybe 1-2 months before completely being exhausted and either surrendering or being conquered.

I don't think it's good that they have 'em, and it's one badass precedent, but sheesh, they're not gonna use 'em without some sort of provocation or reason.

Edit: Put in Saddam Hussein instead of Osama bin Laden [img]tongue.gif[/img]

They might not use them but that doesn't mean that they can't or won't sell them to someone or some group that would.

You could say the same thing about the Americans, the French, the Russians, the Chinese, the Pakistanis, the Indians...etc etc...

True true you could say that about all of those. (point taken)

LOL larry

To quote Peacemaker: "I'm not afraid of the guy that wants 10 nukes, I'm terrified of the guy that only wants one."

Man, I'm gettin scared of this world. Thats why Nuclear Bomb Shelters will be the wave of the future, and which is why I'd put money on the market for them.
