Damned hastily pathetic... and why I'm glad you're not in my nation, let alone a politician.

"getting his panties in a bunch over weapons of mass destruction"

Oh, you couldn't be more accurate about the concern of nuclear warheads and biological warfare. Oh, no, there's no problem with them at all.

Why does the United States of America have nukes? Because USSR started stockpiling with them. USSR was seen as a hostile, and there was no way to know how readily they'd be used. One nation... having enough warheads to destroy all others? The US of A was needed to counterbalance, which is why people like you believe one nuke equals the end of the world; and that belief is exactly what was necessary to keep the war cold.

Nukes don't exactly have the ability to blow up a country... they blow up a 2-mile-ish radius (probably bigger after the "improvements" though). Traditional firebombing, but in larger quanitites, has the same destructive power (in terms of the ability to take out a city). The "big militaries" have the ability to take out a city if they wanted to... but have you seen that happen recently?

If the United States wanted to use a nuke to destroy cities, they would. Obviously, they haven't. If you want an excuse for the Japanese nukes, do some research and read a god damn book or get into a world history class. There are more than enough excuses. And, let's not mention that the same magnitude of damage had been done to Tokyo in firebombings before, but no uproar was heard. Nukes were a new weapon.

Why would we not want hostiles to have a nuke? Why would the police officers not want to have a convict to have an assault rifle? The United States intentions with their nukes have been observed. Who does the US of A hate? Nations that hate the United States. Who's trying to get nukes? Nations that hate the United States. I wonder why in all that is sensible would the United States not want them to have nukes?

Don't throw rocks at the bear... I thought people knew why that sign was at the zoo. The bear's just doing his business.

So are you comparing the United states to the Police, and the other countries as Convicts...or is the United States thr bear? im confused..


Maybe the "Hostile" countries want Nukes for the same reason America does. To protect themselves against hostiles. Im saying maybe, so dont reem me out on this one, im not saying every nation that has nukes will not use them on their own people, im not saying the cold war should have gone on longer, or shorter.

And how would me being an American change anything? You said your glad im not in your nation...i dont see how that is relevent to anything either. Since you said that then im glad your not in MY nation, let alone a politician. I wouldnt want Canada to be filled up with nukes and whatnot.

And im not trying to portray hate amongst America the country or its people, i have no problem with it or them. Its just a select few people i dont like, by the way they act. Such as is in other country's and my own.

(And the zoo signs in Canada say dont feed the bear...you can throw rocks at it all you want..its just common sense most people ,ie. "not me" have.)

And if you were referring to America as a Bear......i think Canada would probably be a Duck....or a Racoon...And if America was the Police then i think Canada would be the Cameraman from COPS...

Yes, but America is targeted more often than "those countries" because we are the only world power. So you can understand how it becomes rather tiresome to hear this same thing over and over again.

US not the only world power? No offense... but are you on crack? Name ONE country that can match the US.

Sorry for the double post, but let's see:
China - large numbers, but they're really weaker than you think. Besides, once their government falls it'll all be gone.
Russia - LOL. No comment.
India - Meh, they're not bad. Worse than China, but still good. Not many technological advancements here. They have nukes however.
Britain - They're small. Not as big and as advanced as the US.

The U.S. is the super power. The technology it's army has is well beyond any other army in the world.

Japan?...and are you solely basing this on military or something?....and ya....rofl at Russia


(and just think how much better the American economy would/could be if they cut off a few "bucks" a year from military and put it into other things, like school, or healthcare..)
