Subject: RE: BS: The right to attack - what gall!
Kendall, Call me simplistic, but I tend to think that if if everybody has nukes, no one will use them, even the rogue nations like Iran and North Korea, for fear of being nuked immediately in return. And given the nature of alliances and treaties, it would happen. No country's leader wants his nation - in Barry Goldwater's words - "bombed back to the stone age." So, let 'em all have nuclear power for electricity and bombs and God knows what else, but have no doubt that the first nation to use a nuke would be nuked right back.
