McNamaram, Nukes and Death Stars.

[Lazul]

The fact that nobody can stand victorius against the USA in a total war isnt schocking news and all, but what would happen in a large scale war.
Would the US use its WMD? is the US then not as much a danger as some other "evil" states when it comes to global conflict. (include the UK and all other nuke-mad states in that argument actually)

Atleast McNamara, former Defence Minister, seams to think that.

my own translation: "imorale, illegal, military unnecessary and horrible dangerous"
Thats what McNamara says about the US and its ways of handeling Nukes.
He also states that he has never been more afraid of a nuclear war like now.

The article also mentions that a modern nuke is around 70 times more powerfull then the Hiroshima bomb.


And in another article wich is related to the Nuke article the ETC magazine talks about the "Space" weapons now being constructed by the US.

Clinton stated that Space should be free of all weapons and only used for peacefull ideas.
Now, under Bush the US airforce has for the first time green light to develope space weaponry.
This inculdes "Staffs" that can be dropped from Satellites to bust bunkers and other construction using laser to destroy targets. (Nicknamed Death Stars)

The article ends with a question: "Imagen a world where the USA has Death Stars is space and that they orbit every other nation each 10th minute. Do you think the other nations would accept that?"

tadaaa, antoher weapons-race, this time in space. Wich other nations would join in? Well, Russia, China, Franche, UK... NK?

I gues humanity is doomed to end its own existance.
