Subject: RE: BS: Obama- Bush's third term?
The piece no one here seems to understand is, as long as imperial powers like the US and Britain, have nukes, and regional powers like India and Pakistan and Israel have nukes, there is simply no rationale for saying to ANY country "but you can't have them because we don't like you and think you are dangerous."

That is the major problem facing us now in terms of non-proliferation, just as it was when the US raced to be the first nation to actually use nuclear weapons.

Why would any country listen to the one and only nation who committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, war atrocities, etc. with nuclear weapons, and continues to commit those crimes and atrocities with new weaponry year after year after year?

The US, Britain, et al have absolutely no moral authority to use as leverage over other nations when it comes the use of immoral weaponry.
