To be fair, look how much the American government shat themselves over the ME and NK.

heh heh, nah. Thats what pisses them off. We keep threatening to just 'walk away' from the Korean talks (and redeploy our troops back stateside if S.Korea keeps talking shiat) and that keeps that little berg in line. Iraq is a funny thing because militarily they havent posed an issue to us...well, ever. But politically they are annoying because deep down, Bush REALLY wanted to f--- their shiat up and now that we havent he doesnt know what else to do. Its like he saw the underpants gnome business model and followed it precisly.

Certain nations can't feed their people or manage to keep a government in power long enough, but they have money for nukes just so they can more effectively threaten their neigbhor or try to play with the big kids? Hell -maybe all the have-nots around the world will get their wish and we’ll all get “ nuked” from orbit when one of those planet killers (asteroids) smack are stupid asses – then everyone will get atomized…essentially getting what we wish for global atomization; that's assuming one of these guys doesn't do it first by accident figuring out how it works with their "nuclear techs" on the job who's last job was herding sheep or working in the field...brings back memories of Chernobyl (uh...what does the flashing light mean?).

Some nukes will be necessary to defend the planet from things like Asteroids.

But the idea of giving everone a nuke and relying on MAD deosnt work if that nations leaders feel dying a martyrs death is preferable to living.

If Hitler's Nazi germany had developed a nuclear bomb before the wars end is there anyone who feels he would not have ordered it used?

I do not feel that nuclear weapons are needed for war anymore. A single LAF warhead on a strategic missle can do as much damage as Hiroshima did.

This is actually a difficult question, as much and as bad as I say I want them around, it's too easy.
All of them should be gone, however I have to come down on the side that God gave us enough brainpower to kill ourselves off and much other life forms.

I say none, but other leaders will just take advantage.

There was a star trek once, where these people had a number, when your number comes up you walk into a machine and it vaporizes you.

It was a war, but each side got tired of the blood, so they neatly fought the war with computers and those killing booths.

Well Kirk detroyed the machine so now the other side would see they wern't fullfilling the self inflicted deaths.

Hence it might have been that neither wanted to fight anymore, show ends.

Because its not real ,metal gear (REX not RAY) is just about the coolest thing ever. If a similar thing is ever built it will suddenly stop being cool.

Besides, I think nukes are less of a threat now. Not for any good reason but because Chem/Bio weapons are so much easier to make transport and often to deploy. They are easier to smuggle, harder to detect and do not require any prerequisite technology. The countries that currenly have nukes dont want to use them. The less stable groups(not necessarily divided into specific nations) will probably opt to continue using conventional explosives untill they Ricin/VX is buy one, get one free.

I'll add one of these "signature" thingies at some point....

Nuking is retarded. So is the whole way conflicts are dealt with.
Seriously the way the earth works is if you can kill, you can have your way. Its twisted. Can they just settle it over a game of poker or something?
