Yeah, I'd like a nuke free, disease free, hunger free world but the Genie's already out of the bottle. About the best that can happen is we try to control it all as we move forward.

How can anyone doubt that evil people given the opportunity would not set off a small nuke in NY or Oklahoma City?

We need the nukes just in case we ever get a president with enough balls to actually drop them. Right smack in center of the middle east. Save one for North Korea and Somalia too.

How many innocent people would you care to see killed in these areas? And in doing so, is this somehow better than the acts of the few in these places against innocent people? Why not make a distinction and act on those who are responsible for such atrocities rather than engaging in a crusade against a stereotypical 'enemy,' which is probably 99% uninvolved?

We haven't used a nuke since the 40s. We've been in a lot of wars since then. They don't seem all that useful.
