Banning Nuclear Weapons Is Impossible

EIN News says, "Hiroshima Marks 65th Atomic Bomb Anniversary, Calls for End of Nuke Weapons. Japan's Hiroshima marked the 65th atomic bomb anniversary on Friday for the first time with the presence of the UN chief and U.S. representatives, calling for a world free of nuclear weapons.

This is a ridiculous assertion! It would be in the same category as eliminating all lawbreaking or eliminating sex. As long as some people wish to have an advantage over others, they will use whatever weapon they feel is necessary, including nuclear weapons.

The US used the atomic bomb in World War II to protect itself against domination by the Japanese. This was basically a defensive use. However, if the atomic bomb had been in the hands of the Japanese, I believe there would have been little hesitation on their using it to achieve their ends of world domination at that time.

The UN Chief and US Rep. are completely out of step with an understanding of human motivations.

Nuclear weapons are here to stay. Pandora's Box has been opened. There is no way to re-close it.

The US must now be foremost in its ability to produce and use nuclear weapons as may be necessary, and this includes the primary limitation, which will be human judgment. An attitude such as indicated by the U.S. representative above will lead to complete destruction of the United States, as its enemies understand that the US will take no action until it's too late.

The "Mutually Destructive" policy, under which we have been operating for almost 70 years, has been effective but has its limitations. The use of terrorism activities has been a relatively recent activity in war. To counteract this, we need to develop small-scale nuclear weapons, which will give us an option other than mutual destruction. You might even get some Democrats to vote along with you on this development. Even today, I suspect that not all Democrats are pie-in-the-sky. There may still be a few like Roosevelt and Truman, who approved the development of the atomic bomb and its use.
