We will have to agree on one thing and that is to dissagree. Bye the way the Nuclear club consist of just 5 countries USA,SOVIET UNION,FRANCE,CHINA,UK There are another ONLY 3 other countries that have not signed up the non proliferation treaty they are INDIA,PAKISTAN,NORTH KOREA.....and ISRAEL will not confirm or deny that it has a nuclear capability......... Now then I can see of only one country that just might have as you put it want to blast us "off the face of the earth" The others well I dont consider them a threat to world peace...ie indiscrimanatly bomb peacefull nations.. So if your interpritation is correct the whole world with the exception of those named above are doomed I think not.......... No I STAND by what I say its a complete waste of money and your comments fully endorse my feelings but as I said earlier we will have to agree to dissagree... We fortunatly live in a society where we can freely discuss these differences of opinion openly and its no thanks to having nuclear weapons.
