First of all I wasn't saying that we should use them now since we have allied forces and US troops over there already.(Be reall)
We used them in Japan in WWII. Why would it have been so bad now to use them in Iraq?
The entire country of Japan wasn't against America during the war
but we still dropped them though. It saved tens of thousands of American lives by dropping those bombs instead of a land invasion, which was originally considered.
Same holds true for Iraq. No, not all of them are anti-American but war isn't supposed to be pretty.
If Iraq had the chance, they wouldn't hesitate to drop one on us and kill our civilians. We should all be thankful about that!!
I know we are not going to use nukes but what the hell do we have them for......to launch them back at whomever uses them on us first...after it's too late???

When we dropped nukes on japan it was 50 years ago, and the first time they were used.

The world is a completely different place now, and nukes are considered taboo. We dont want anyone to use them on us, so the logic goes we wont use them on you eithier.

Why do you think there are so many "nuclear reduction" treatys, and what not.......to reduce them and hopefully no-one will ever use one.

To drop one on iraq would be completely uncool and completely unecessary.
