Actually, the US has had nuclear weapons since WW II, and we've only used them the one time against Japan, which is a rather dubious distinction, at best. The aftershock, world wide, from that is what caused the Non Proliferation Treaty. Which meant, nobody else was supposed to develop nuclear weapons. There is a link to it in this discussion, along with a list of the countries that signed it. Iran is one of the countries that signed the agreement. If they are developing nuclear weapons, which I believe they may be, they are in violation of that treaty, knowingly. This, along with what they might do with them is the issue.

In so far as I know, that's the only time bombs like that have been used.

Some people are not pleased with that. What it really means is: The United States reserves the right to place a nuclear strike onto a target first, and would only strike with chemical or biological munitions within like means. Within the disarmament treaties with other World powers we have publicly de-milled weapons of mass destruction at the rate of which we signed on the disarming policy. It is our duty, and policy to maintain this treaty. As one of the hammers of the UN gable, we must enforce the nuclear treaty. I cannot give specifics, but it is not hard to search the internet for the destruction of US chemical weapons at the _________ chemical plant. Additionally within the treaty we have de-milled all of our older nukes, and only retain the newer shinier models. If you really must know, the only time The President has single control over the nuclear arsenal is when he is aboard Air Force 1, it is above an altitude of xx,xxx feet, the two secret members of congress have both conducted their sequence of button pushing, AND, the CMDR ____________ has turned the activation switch, which is located in the base of a mountain (that is, believe it or not, Not located in the United States). Then, and only then, does he have single control. Until that point, it is a three phase sequence! The treaty is what dictates the remaining nations about nuclear power.

Sounds like a guy who'll just LOVE the Israeli's, doesn't he? Two very different bias's. I posted them both so that they could be seen in juxtaposition, and also in the hope that they could be viewed in a more open-minded manner.

Interesting... While it certainly doesn't mean anyone can stop worrying, it's good to see diplomacy apparently making some ground (As opposed to the "Shock & Parking Lot" solution some are touting). I heard on local news (Channel 10, Sydney, Australia) talk of them being removed from the "Axis of Evil that supports terrorism" as the above article mentions too. They of course have backflipped before and could do so again, so it remains to be seen. Could be positive though. Interesting comment about how Iran might see it though... Their reaction will be one to watch. Here's an intersting article in relation to the whole debate: http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/me...ran/index.html |
