it is tooo late....


Although a documentary like this makes a good point, that there is NO good in nuclear weapons, it is too late to dream of a world without them. For America to rid themselves of nuclear weapons would leave them defenseless to the world and to expect the world to go along with getting rid of nuclear weapons EVER is naiv'e.
a country whom has the power of the atomic bomb will never give it up at this point as it would be like putting down your hand at a card game in a casino and expecting everyone to do the same. the world is too full of evil people with evil intentions to really entertain the thought that all the worlds nuclear bombs can just be thrown away and the world move on to a better peaceful condition. really, more simply, as sad as it is- it is impossible to maintain peace in the world as long as man walks it- man is selfish and will never stop throwing rocks at their neighbors.

"would leave them defenseless"

More like "would not be able to retaliate" but I got your point and you are right.

I have to agree with the defenseless claim. Nukes provide a deterrent...a form of defense. The concept of defense is not necessarily a physical one..whatever makes someone think twice about attacking you counts as a defense.

Defenseless? The US army is just as big or even bigger as all other armies from all other countries in the whole world? You call that a 'defenseless country'? No other empire ever had such a large army in the history of mankind.
