    You mean like Japan, who after having 2 Made in the U.S.A. nukes dropped on their heads, are one of our best business partners as well as political allies?

    There is something to be said for an adequate use of force.

      Except they'll never forgive you for that. Nor should anyone else. Dropping a nuke after your enemy surrenders is disgusting.

      Yeah? I'd love to hear it.

    President George W. Bush, is a maniac when it comes to slaughter. The man's face lights up at any mention of the death penalty or bombing people. How determined is he to destroy the whole world and become the king of a graveyard is anyone's guess. This is simply too much.

    No one with as miserable of an education as Dubya would even consider that Lou Tzu offered wisdom on the topic of war thousands of years ago. To sum it up, anytime you make more weapons, your enemy makes more weapons. If the US reverses its anti-nuke policy, everyone else is going to become as gun-ho to compensate. And as weapons increase, the world becomes less safe for everyone.

    George W. Bush, you moron. STOP IT. We do not have to bomb everyone, let alone nuke anyone!

    Nuclear weapons are so unmistakably evil it's amazing how this fruitcake religious fanatic who uses Christianity (a religion that teaches non-violence - think about the teaching of Jesus) as a campaign platform... is so EAGER to deal out death! Not to mention his empowerment of John Ashcroft, who is die-hardly determined to become the next McCarthy.

    Where is it going to end? I honestly wonder if we're all going to make it to 2004.

    But now, the Pentagon report says, the nation faces new contingencies in which nuclear weapons might be employed, including "an Iraqi attack on Israel or its neighbors
    ...
    But of course, nothing about a nuclear attack by the jews against the Arab nations, though.

    This is to be expected; will ever the yankees wake up to the fact that their political system has been subverted by the sionists, mostly thanks to their control of the media and hollywood?

    What need to be done is a systematical and methodical eradication of jewish media executives as well as total annihilation of jewish lobby groups, and a stern warning to politicians that they will be the first against the wall if ever they'd accept a single penny from jewish organizations.

    This way, the people of the United States of America will have gone a long way into reclaiming back their democracy.
