Fear, it's a great motivator.

Anyone care to make odds on an atomic bomb being used in anger on a city within the next 20 years?

Depends largely if "terrorists" get their hands on one. Then it doesn't really matter how many we have.

And it sure is Benny .

The terrorists lol, some of us don't believe the terrorists are a separate group from the group that largely controls them now. If that is the case then the odds are pretty good in favor, within 20 years will get you even money. Within 15 will get you 2 to 1 and if you can call the month and the year and the day within 3 there is a bonus clause.

in the end you can say that up till now there is only one country who ever used them,and so rumours go not for an entirely kosher reason

the4 bombing of dresden with conventional weopons killed an estimated; 24000 to 25000

from wiki;
Today's historians estimate a death toll between 24,000 and 40,000,[7] and an independent investigation commissioned by the city council in 2006 determined a minimum of 18,000 victims with a maximum total number of fatalities of around 25,000.

thats just one city. (no soldiers.) then you have berlin london manchester, that doesn't include death by bread oven and shower. 7,000,000. then you have the amount of deaths of the soldiers.

i'd say if someone would have used a nuke we'd have saved a lot of lives.

if japan had had the chance in the 2nd ww america would be a radioactive dust pile. luckily the yanks got to the punch first.

Who ever had it first in a war would have used it. After the fact that entity would have justified it just the same as any other. I think there can be no justifacation for the use of nukes on humans just as I think all war is murder and never justifieable. That really does not change the fact that throwing nukes away is a bad idea. Some day we will in fact need them. Thats how I see it.

to put it short,the victor is always right

[billy]

theres a quote that states
"history is made by the victor"

meaning the winner usually changes the history books.
