Good post

I view the worlds nuclear arsenal and those that own nukes but deny others, like I would the "bully" with the base ball bat or knife.
Woe betide any of those being bullied for wanting a baseball bat or knife of their own.
The days when nuclear weapons were a deterant are long gone and sad to say, in this day and age I think they are viewed more as a tool to pressure and
an excuse to go to war.
The views of those who live on earth are changing regarding the dread and fear we used to have about our ability to scorch mother earth clean.
IMO we know deep inside that the day when they are used is getting closer, its almost an inevitability, an acceptance. This acceptance has been
created by the soul and mind numbing chemicals we breath, eat, drink and touch.
Looking at the last 20 years of the history of mankind on earth I firmly believe that America, the country first to use the "bomb", will be honoured
with the accolade of also being second. Only this time the bully will be held to task by others who also have a weapon.
To end, I find it difficult to choose who I would want not to have nukes between the US and Iran and would put my money on the US using them first
every time !
