anyone else think that so far these weapons of mass destruction have been a good thing? the cold war could have been so much uglier if there wasn't the threat of nukes. we could have been sending missiles back and fourth at each other. if it wasn't for the fear of the end of the world we'd probably constantly be at war.
of course, all it takes is one extremely looney world leader to change all this, but it hasn't happened yet and whose to say it will. its a tool used to scare the world. as soon as a country gets nukes they have to be viewed as a threat, and forces us to listen to what they have to say and take into consideration the things they need. god forbid the us is forced to listen to other countries needs.
i'm not saying iraq or north korea is right in this, and i'm also not saying that i'm not scared nothing really bad is going to happen, but if everyone thought the way certain people did why don't we just kill ourselves now and get it over with.
