Thread Name: BS: nuclear war dangerous
Subject: RE: BS: nuclear war dangerous
Have Hiroshima and Nagasaki recovered?

The victims of both bombings have been shunned by the general population. Birth defects are still showing up in second and third generations. BUT the bombs which fell on Japan were miniscule compared to what is available today.

"There's no evidence at all that nuclear war is dangerous." I can only assume you are joking.

Which brings me to another observation: since the US is the ONLY country which has seen fit to rain down nuclear devastation, shouldn't it be the first banned from possessing nuclear weapons? Sorry, I honestly do not believe that the Iranians are more likely to use nuclear weapons than the US, Russia, China, Korea or whoever.

Please note: I am not talking about terrorists who are totally unpredictable.
