I'm not concerned with who won the A bomb race. I know who the parties were in WWII who were working on the technology, and who the parties are now working on the technology.

But none of that changes the most chilling fact of all:

We won the race, and used the bombs the minute we had the ability to do so. We will also be the first to the finish line to develop "theatre nuclear weapons" purportedly to be used only on the battlefield.

The so-called "war against Iraq" will be the test phase of the use of those weapons, just as Nagasaki and Hiroshima were.
