How? If someone fires a nuclear warhead at the US, having 200,000 warheads of our own doesn't stop that one however advanced missile detection and anti-air interception capabilities would. Nuclear weapons aren't tools for defense, they're tools for retaliation and deterrent. Considering everyone is afraid to use nuclear weaponry these days, they're not exactly an effective deterrent against anything except other nations with nuclear weaponry (a group that doesn't include terrorists in the first place). |
I am glad you responded to this horrible statement. It is a sad time when half the people think like this guy that nuclear weapons help defend against terrorist. It is pretty much on the same line as giving up your freedoms to remain free (Patriot Act). Statements like this make me want to just say f the human race and go live on an island. Too bad the world is full of stupid people.
