1. Everyone . . .
. . . should be forced to give up their nukes.
Yeah cuz we all know Iran will gladly get rid of theirs if only the USA would go first.

4. I'm wonder how anyone can force a nuclear power to give up their nukes.
You can't that's why the US needs to keep an arsenal so that way they will think twice before hitting the launch button.
That policy has worked for over 50 years no one has been stupid enough to launch one our way.

20. if they can elect some sane people to run their govt. they can keep
the nukes.
Hell I'd be happy if we had sane people running our Govt maybe I should reconsider us having nukes.

22. agree, a nuke free world would be great
nt
That would be wonderful and I'm not being sarcastic but, the cat is out the bag so therefore we need to maintain an arsenal for defensive posture. Once the first nuke was invented a nuke free world became impossible unless we all disappear from the face of the earth.

19. Maybe. Radical countries seem to hate Israeel and USA.

Both countries keep pissing off other countries and so we need to have the nukes to always have that upper hand with the countries that will inevitably have nukes at some point in the future.
I'd like to say that nobody should have nukes, ourselves included however it's pretty much guaranteed that many countries do not share our ambitions in having a nukular free world.
I thought the world loved us now that Lord O is in charge hell kadaffy wants him to be POTUS for life.
