"Right now, I don't understand why we think it is OK for us to have nuclear weapons but it isn't all right for some other countries to have any. I don't think any country should have a nuclear weapon. And that includes ours".

i liked that 1 idea i saw on tv . . this couple turned an old nuke silo into a house

i think every last nuke should be recycled into something useful

and i agree if we expect others to disarm we must lead by example and take every last 1 out of service

I've always thought that as well. As little as I want radical-led countries that hate the US to have nuclear weapons, what gives our govt. the right to dictate that they can't have them? I have a feeling this is going to be the start of another cold war... this time with the middle eastern region. And of course, not all of it is 'cold.'

I agree, the US can't dictate who can and can't have the ability to defend themselves. It's scary that everyone thinks it's necessary to have that capability. It seems like it's inevitable that someday, someone is going to get trigger happy.

i think wars would make more sense if we took the concept of counting coup (is that how its spelled) a step further, and fought wars with thrown pies
whoever manages to throw a pie in the face of the highest up the command chain wins the war
1 general counts for 100 pied soldiers . . hitting the leaders of the country with a pie is an automatic win
