    Default Nukes

    How come although Bush has thousands of nuclear weapons, he refuses to allow other countries who want them, to have them. Like iran or korea. Does he think that those countries think that theyre safe whie bush has nukes. And how can Bush tell other countries what to do, hes president of america, not the smurfing world.

    Because if the US let other countries develop their own nuclear weapons, they couldn’t sell them to them…

    because america really really really loves the nuclear non-proliferation program. well it actually really really really loves altering it so it can make loads of money and defeat countries by default.

    but what america loves most? igoring the START agreements.

    What possible train of thought follows the lines of "We possess weapons which allow us nearly-assured defense against any and all hostile forces. Let's not do anything whatsoever to stop those forces evening the odds!"?

    And Bush doesn't have thousands of Nuclear weapons, the world developed and increased them after World War II during nearly five decades of Cold War. Blaming him because of the actions of the last six decades, well...

    Not really. Once again, you think we have an absolute monarchy.

    isn't it required that they are launched by him and his secretary of defence? correct me if i'm wrong. but i thought that he was the only one that was capable of launching them with the defence secretary.

    is the approval of congress actually necessary? i never thought it was. i was in the belief that it could be done direct from air force one or automatically and/or directly by the president under the MAD scenario.

    can they be launched without the president?

    OMG Bush is so evil ahhhh!

    What the hell is going on here? Ok for one thing - Bush cuddles with nuclear missles every night. Santa droped them off for xmas one year - so see they are bushes and its all his fault.

    Ok now to talk for real. Pakastan and Inda have nukes pointed at eachother and may actually use them someday - that is scary enough. But lets arm korea with nukes so that they can play diplomatic hardball and choose sides over the IP conflicts. Nice wipe charmin.

    Bush does not have indiscriminate command over the missles. There is this small little club called the Military, that actually does not receive commands from the president outside of his commander in cheif position. Even then we are safe because such action requres a state of war - which can only be declared by congress. (You might here that vietnam wasn't a war. Well that is because it was a conflict under the command of nix. IF it would have gone on longer - command would have went to congress and they would have issued all out war at that point)

    I am sure our government wakes up and says "Gee... I wonder how we can screw the world up..." I dunno why everyone looks poorly at the states. You know what... the same thing that runs our government runs the rest of the worlds. The three evils Greed, Money, and Politics.

    I dunno of an honest politition and all we can do is try and vote for which everone lies the best. The system has been screwed since business succefully got to the governement.

    Anyways, If you wanna say that America loves ignoring agreements - look at the history of 90% of diplomatically active contries. I am sure you can find some cases of broken treeties. And also - that would be our government, not us. Thanks though for a nother head-in-ass summerization of america.

    Letting North Korea or Iran have nukes isn't much different from letting a child who has a reputation of beating up other children get ahold of a very sharp pair of scissors.
