Damned hastily pathetic... and why I'm glad you're not in my nation, let alone a politician.
"getting his panties in a bunch over weapons of mass destruction"
Oh, you couldn't be more accurate about the concern of nuclear warheads and biological warfare. Oh, no, there's no problem with them at all.
Why does the United States of America have nukes? Because USSR started stockpiling with them. USSR was seen as a hostile, and there was no way to know how readily they'd be used. One nation... having enough warheads to destroy all others? The US of A was needed to counterbalance, which is
why people like you believe one nuke equals the end of the world; and that belief is exactly what was necessary to keep the war cold.
Nukes don't exactly have the ability to blow up a country... they blow up a 2-mile-ish radius (probably bigger after the "improvements" though). Traditional firebombing, but in larger quanitites, has the same destructive power (in terms of the ability to take out a city). The "big militaries" have the ability to take out a city if they wanted to... but have you seen that happen recently?
If the United States wanted to use a nuke to destroy cities, they would. Obviously, they haven't. If you want an excuse for the Japanese nukes, do some research and read a god damn book or get into a world history class. There are more than enough excuses. And, let's not mention that the same magnitude of damage had been done to Tokyo in firebombings before, but no uproar was heard. Nukes were a new weapon.
Why would we not want hostiles to have a nuke? Why would the police officers not want to have a convict to have an assault rifle? The United States intentions with their nukes have been observed. Who does the US of A hate? Nations that hate the United States. Who's trying to get nukes? Nations that hate the United States. I wonder
why in all that is sensible would the United States not want them to have nukes?
Don't throw rocks at the bear... I thought people knew why that sign was at the zoo. The bear's just doing his business.
