Ah yes, America and her nukes.
We are the only country to use nukes in war. But at the time, it was believed to be the right thing to do. I think every Marine who fought and survived at Iwo Jima would have supported using the bomb. There were 27,000 Japanese who killed or wounded 25,000 (mostly Marine) US personnel. Use those numbers for the Japanese mainland and the US would have entered the meat grinder.
We, as Americans, are not going to use nukes as a first strike weapon. Look at the countries that have attained nukes in the last 10 years or are trying to get them; Iraq, Iraq, North Korea, to a lesser extent India and Pakistan. I am sorry, but those countries are not exactly the ones who are going to set the example for the rest of the world. I do not trust those countries with nukes and I will support anything that stops them from developing anything else
Nukes and WMD's are something that most people wish were never invented.
