People like crying "nuke 'em!" from the comfort of their den, but clearly do not appreciate the ramifications inherent. Nuclear war is the worst possible scenario - for all sides. If we have no choice, we have no choice. But it's not like the Battle of Britain where everyone cleans up and rebuilds at the end of the war.
But forget about us. Once the nuclear divide is breached - once the unthinkable comes to pass - there would certainly be a perceived impetus for Pakistan to nuke India and N. Korea to nuke S. Korea and Iran to nuke Israel.
Instead of calling us "moderates" or "leftists", they should consider what would happen in real life, not a Tom Clancy novel.
yeah what was that story at the beginning of the book 'Sum of all Fears' about the knight drawing the sword to kill the asp and genocide ensuing?
Once the first missle is launched it won't just stop there. thankfully most everyone realizes this, which is why there is a US and there is a Russia today.
You realize we'd only do it if they started nuclear war first right? That's what Trancredo said.
So.. They start a nuclear war, and we're gonna sit on our thumbs? I don't think so pal.
