[Always Right]

Bizarre - start off with religious overtones, then go off on usual blame America & Bush for everything.

What is bizarre is how he got there. There is a big black hole in the whole premise of his article.

Yes bizarre. The author uses the religious overtones, because he misunderstands the conservatives he seeks to attack - he most likely stereotypes all Conservatives as religious zealots, and this is how he attempted to establish credibility for his article.

Nuclear power was a genie that was coming out of the bottle either way. Nazi scientists, then transfered to Russia, were working on it too - it was a race with the highest stakes.

Now the author seems to propose that since we did not eliminate nukes everyone else wants them too.

Sounds like 'if everyone destroyed their guns, the bad guys wouldn't want them either.' Nice in theory, but reality sucks and we have to deal with it.

He doesn't mention that nukes haven't been used in war since. I believe that is because there is a responsible entity(s) at the helm of nuclear balance on this planet. If the US diminished/eliminated it's nuclear arsenal, who would ascend to the helm? Why would we knowingly relinquish to control to whomever would secretly arise? Seems foolish to me.

But being foolish seems to pay this author's bills.
