Get it?

Is a bigger 'nuke club' inevitable? There is no doubt in my mind that Iran poses a threat to world peace...as does Pakistan, India and Israel. The last 3 named are not signatory to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and are quite free to do as they please in the development of nuclear weapons, which they have. And oddly enough, they are rewarded by the US despite their behavior.

Pakistan sold nuclear secrets to other nations, and because we wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with the military junta that governs that country, we said very little and sanctions weren't even discussed. India's government, because of its increasing importance in the politics and industry of the Middle East is now being treated to the best we can offer in military aid and other perks. Israel, which denies that it evens owns a nuclear bomb, won't let anyone see its highly secret labs and manufacturing plants. The rumor is that Israel already has 25 nuclear warheads, a rumor that Israel never denies. While at the same time, Israel cozies up to the US for aid...

Want to be worried? Really worried? Russia, the old Russia we once feared has thousands of nuclear warheads and they are stored with little or no security to keep them safely in place. Some say that they don't even know how many they have (or had). And what are we doing about that?

We just passed an anniversary marking the first and only use of two of those devices. 60 years have passed since we unleashed this horror and we still don't "get it". Two of those old bombs killed over 300,000 people, mostly civilians. What will the new bombs do?
