24 Hours... and IT'S ON....

From The Matrix:

You are the disease. We are simply.....the cure.

That's how I view the whole situation. Iraqis have suffered under this mind-washing butthole cancer long enough. The reasons for which some side with him, I really REALLY don't know and most likely never will. Whether it's religious reasons, anti-American sentiment, fear or what, I can't fathom. However, we are doing the right thing. It's too bad the world won't realize this until after it's over. The worst part is we won't get a "thank you," a "kiss my arse," nothing. It'll just be back to business as usual: the United States policing the world like a guardian, and the whole time everyone complaining what tyrants we are. And how we shouldn't poke our noses into everything....the whole time asking for more money and food to feed their starving people.

It's like a kid complaining that their folks are bad parents, ya know? Without the parents, the kid would go without food and shelter.

Anyhoo, the reason we have nukes? Yes, almost completely a deterrant. I think it'd be psycho to actually use ONE, let alone thousands with each one having many MANY times the destructive power of the original two. I think I was told one time that if a nuke was dropped on Detroit that cities as far away as Toledo would be damaged badly. I hope that we never get that far as to resort to them. Again, it's just a deterrant. Imagine, though, if we disarmed tomorrow. Do you realize how quickly we'd all be dead? Many nations now have nukes, and to lose them all would be perilous to us all, indeed the rest of the world. I think in a way that if even ONE is launched, given the right circumstances, they will ALL be launched. Thus ending existance as we all know and love it.
