Full scale paranoia. I gues as long as the US holds the doomsday of the world by themselves, they're happy. The complex developed from the Cold War, when Rey-gun was in office. Despite SALT I and II, he decided to make more nukes, same with others after him. With the doomsay device in their hands, SOLELY in their hands, they are happy. Simple rulernomics on the road to imperial control...

Yes, there is a bit of irony.  But, please think of it another way.  With hindsight they now know what it can do, so therefore after Hiroshima and Nagasaki aren't they not qualified.  Also, I think it's better that the USA is the worlds leading superpower than lets say a country like France.  Or maybe Japan... China... even Tonga... gets very scary doesn't it.  I must admit, Americans have a  lot of ideals, not all popular with the rest of the world, but better them than any other nation I can think of.  NO I am not American by the way.  Yes it is ironic but lets think of it one last way.  It's just like your parents trying to stop you from having sex when you were young.  They do it everynight... perhaps... that's how they made you, etc...get my drift.

Look we're the only superpower. We have nukes as a deterrent. Would we use them? Sure if we needed to, but that would be a last resort. As to Israel, they are our ally and Thus we let them keep nukes as a deterrent. It is one way for Ismael to ensure not being over run by its enemies in the middle east. Why can't Iran have nukes? North Korea? Because we said so that's why. (Please refer to first sentence.)

Wrong Buddy. Remember you have some crazy people who will do anything to get a nuke in their hands. Anyone from terrorists, to warlords. The civilized world, notice like the US, France, Britain, and so forth, use their nukes as a deterrent. You know u nuke me, I'll nuke you back. Crazy countries like Iran just wants nukes to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! So therefore, it is in the best interest of the civilized world that certain countries contain and hold nukes.

Iran is only trying to get nuclear POWER, not a bomb, AND\nthey don't have the technology to deliver anything to the USA even if they did have a bomb, which they don't.

This is not a very smart question to be asking given the War on Terrorism we are involved in around the world.  There are at least 6 Nuclear Powers in the world that I know of, the US, UK, Russia, Israel, China, and France, nations which have or are capable right now in building and delivering by missile or briefcase, to a designated target.  There are at least 5 more working hard to enrich uranium to build their bomb, having already obtained a delivery system. Our government is very jittery and gets very suspicious of people who ask the kinds of questions you did.  If you want people knocking on the door at home, your doing a fine job of attracting the kind of attention and scrutiny you do not want, trust me.  I am one of those people who watched out for people like you before I retired.  Do yourself a favor and find a new interest.

I think the town of Jericho has a massive underground stash of weapons that only the City Fathers know about.  That's why they are protecting it.  They know that if those so-called govt guys get into the town, they could unleash weapons of mass destruction because the warheads could be used to nuke the country that they think fired on them first.  The truth is, that the US nuked themselves when one of the hidden warheads went off accidently, causing a chain reaction.  Jericho has a different power source, so their's has to be run manually!!!  :o)

Interesting spelling.\n\nI like how *after* a bomb attempt, they go crazy avoiding the technology that's already been foiled.  Why would a terrorist use the same technology that has already been detected?  Wouldn't they go for something more discreet, something people aren't looking for yet?\n\nI'm totally disgusted by airline security, air traffic control, shoddy maintenance, prices, too-full airplanes...airplanes SUCK since deregulation.  I'm taking a sailboat, hang-gliding, driving a lawnmower.  I'm too broke to fly on private jets, but I would if I could.  \n\nThe government--always a step behind in the war on terrorism.  Thanks, guys!

From the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, it sounds like they need alot of upgrading.  They don't have as many nukes targeted on the USA as i had thought, although one would be enough.
707951
Well, I don't know when or if there will be another attack upon the US, but I can pretty much guarantee it won't be using airplanes again.  They're more creative than that, and we're pretty stupid for only really securing THAT type of public transportation.

You should say that the USA has WMD, why should not anybody else?\n\nThink about it. The USA is the only country to have used nuclear weapons. How can we trust them not to use them again? We can't. Other countries have the rights to protect themselves against the USA's nuclear attacks.
885475
i think it is stupid and irresponsible.  The US is the only country in history ever to use an atomic weapon, and on civilian targets, what right do we have to dictate who can or cannot have nuclear weapons?

no, thats the very reason terrorism against us exists. if a military invaded your country & killed your friends & family would you let it be? i wouldnt. id go all the way off. we tamper with their economies, laws, cultures, news/info & rights. just ain right. so many note the proactive stance,'woudl you rather wait till they attack?'...yes. itll be bad but thats the way it is. what if someone took an interventionist stance on us? we'd be pissed & outraged. by that rational, iran should attack usa since weve already made it clear that we're in their business. about iran, they have no means of making any nuke weapons. they have 2nd generation urenco centrifuges. we have 10th generation. the threat is if india with their new fast burn multipliers will sell iran the uranium for a weapon. although, india makes more selling electricity than weapons. iran has made upgrades to their reactors which allow them to enrich to 8%, 93% is needed for a weapon.\nactually rogerpoirier2, we & uk had blockades on both germany & japan. japan & china were in a big war so russia was the only place they could get recources. remember, theyre an island, not that big. they have limited recources. germany was on their european tour thing & needed to be shut down & thats what we did. only when rngland was attacked did we officially get in it. \nww1\nhttp://weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=88\nww2 http://www.philipdru.com/stinnett_stream.html

But JumpingJack we do not sell to the terroist countries like the russinas do. where do you think (Iran Syria just to name a few) got these reactors and stuff. They don't have the technology or the scientist, or material, so more than likely some corrupt Russian offical sold them.

as a matter of fact, the US indeed have arsenals for nuclear bombs. The US Gov't has to maintain nuclear bombs, simply because, it wanted to stay as the world's most powerful and influential nation.

This last guy just typed out a lot of bullshit. I am pissed at myself for even reading all of that crap. And espike is wrong about the no-first use. The US not only maintains that it may use it first but it also maintains that it may use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state.\n\n1. The United States is one of the five "nuclear weapons states" permitted to maintain a nuclear arsenal under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, of which it was an original signatory on July 1, 1968 (ratified March 5, 1970). Although the The 5 NWS parties have made undertakings not to use their nuclear weapons against a non-NWS party, the United States, for instance, has indicated that it may use nuclear weapons in response to a non-conventional attack by "rogue states". \n\n\n2. The U.S. cancelled its offensive biological weapons program by executive order in November 1969 and February 1970 and ordered the destruction of all offensive biological weapons by February 1973. The U.S. ratified the Geneva Protocol on January 22, 1975. In March 1975, the U.S. ratified the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). \n\n\n3. In May 1991 President George H.W. Bush unilaterally committed the United States to destroying all chemical weapons and to renounce the right to chemical weapon retaliation. \nThe U.S. Congress has since passed legislation requiring the destruction of the entire stockpile by December 31, 2004. Official U.S. policy is to support the Chemical Weapons Convention as a means to achieve a global ban on this class of weapons and to halt their proliferation. \n\nOh and the arabs, they had palaces and cities and knew how to read, write, trade, build ships etc. while Europe and America were barbarians and were still living in caves. The arabs gave the west the modern number system and they also carried the concept of zero from India to the west. What Europe and America boasts of today started with what they got from the arabs. But with their religious fanaticism their progress stalled and they fell behind. America is powerful and advanced today but it too is witnessing a religious fundamentalist movement. And if it continues on this path then the only thing separating America from its dark days is time.\nCivilizations rise and fall.

Pip, making a nuclear bomb is very very very hard!  Especially out of 10000 smoke alarms!  I'd be interested to know which 'news channel' this was.
