Nukes exist.

It would be nice if they didn't but they do. It would be nice if greed and hatred and pestilence and famine didn't exist either.

But they do.

We have to learn to live with such things. Some we can control, some we can't. Since nukes do exist, I in my own ethnocentric and chauvinistic way, would prefer that my country be the big dog on the block. I would also prefer that my country always be right and just in its dealings with other countries.

But if it's not, I still want us to be calling the shots for our people, not some wack job or religious fanatic.

Purely selfish I know, but that's just how I am.
