Not to worry. Just saw a clip of Colin Powell saying that no one has used nuclear weapons since Hiroshima and Nagasaki so he doubts anyone would use it in the 21st. century.

I simply LOATHE Powell.

His reasoning is faulty and he couldn't resist that dig at America for using the bomb.

IMO, Japan and Hitler deserved to have a bomb dropped on them. Too bad we didn't take Hitler out sooner.

As for Iran....just ludicrous for him to suggest that it's leader is sane or rational.

If he hand't been averse to taking out Saddam Hussein during the first Gulf War, perhaps we wouldn't be having to clean up his leftover mess.

Powell is in wonderland if he thinks nobody will use a nuke in this century. Has he been living on the same planet as the rest of us or is he living on Fantasy Island.

How many airliners were deliberate flown by hijackers into skyscrapers prior to 9/11?

Say what you will about Russian and Chinese Communist leaders, at least we must admit that we were dealing with evil but sane humans that valued their own lives and not religious fanatics who believed that dying in a fireball would earn them Paradise as long as they killed infidels like us in the process.

I'm sure the decision not to go into Iraq was Bush Sr.'s not Powell's. His reasoning is faulty however and for him to hold that view reveals a large naivete. I'm sure he couldn't convince Israel of that either.
