Sometimes I wonder what the point of testing them was in the first place. We never used them but when we first created them.
Which brings me back to my point earlier this week. Maybe its time to use one again to let the Muslims know we mean business. Let's see how serious they really are about dying for Allah after we nuke, say, Iran.
Iran is a very different place ro WW2 Imperial Japan, where you have a small ruling party controlling a well-educated, moderate and tolerant general populace.
I posted a descrption of Iran from a friend of mine who went there a year or so ago and had a great time, and was approachd by many friendly people who wanted to talk to him about the West. He finished up his trip with snowboarding just outside Tehran.
Using nuclear weapons in this day and age, where the US has an enormously large arsenal and therefore a variety of alternatives to nuclear weapons, would provoke an extremely poor reaction from even its closest allies, not to mention its own citizens. Its not even a realistic option.
