Star Wars was meant to shoot ground to air missles or satalite missles at the nukes. The SDIO, I believe, was started in 1984 by government funding. The idea was to set up a nuclear X-ray laser to "bring down" nuclear missles.

Isreal probably wouldn't use nukes. Frankly, because they don't have to. Their air force and IDF is easily capable of taking over the middle east 3 times over.

I think Pakistan and India would probably be the ones to use the first nuclear weapons. Both are nuclear ready and able. Both had tensions almost at the brink of war, but I really don't think they feel imposed to do so anymore.

yes, IDF is badass.

And for the point about destruction areas that's because the only way to fully utilize the blast of an H-bomb is to have it surrounded by your target in 3D... not just laid beneath it in 2D, hence the loss as much of it is vented into space (no joke)

You guys need to check out the DVD "Trinity and Beyond"

It's SICK. We used to launch nukes into space and light them off which would disrupt ALL radio communication for entire continents not to mention EMP quite a large area. Basically it's like goldeneye, but for real.

Oh the things we did...

I would be more woried about getting AIDS or geting a girl pregnant. You know something that you know about or prevent.

Countries will probably never resort to nuclear weaponary agains eac other however funalmentalist groups would if they could.

so move to montana whatever.

Just remember what hipocrats the US is.

Also think about this. One boomer submarine has the ability to make all of south america uninhabitibal for 1000 years. We have several in constant operation...

I personally think that you are entirely right to be worried about nuclear war. I certainly am.

According to Noam Chomsky's "Failed States" page 9, Strategic Analysts John Steinbruner and Nancy Gallagher have warned that the Bush administrations military programs and agressive stance on such issues as "national security" carry "an appreciable risk of ultimate doom". The Bush administration has also not only exdended Clinton's "control of space" doctrine but urged that the US military maintain OWNERSHIP of space. How can you propertize space? The weaponization of space has lead to other global "significants" such as China and even Russia to closely watch the programs the Pentagon is putting into practice.

Anyone see similarities to the Cold War scenario here???

Another thing to consider when analysing the mainstream "news" in which generally only people of "stature" are interviewed, is; Do the facts add up? Does what they say have any factual evidence in history?

William Blum once stated the two laws of American Politics, coming out of the Watergate saga:

1, No matter how paranoid you are, what the government is actually doing is worse than you imagine.

2, Don't beleive anything until it's been officially denied.

Taking all these things into account, and the irrational, inhumane doctrines of US foreign policy since Vietnam, I think Nuclear holocaust is entirely possible, if not certain.

Ah a legendary conspiracy theorist. Yet, his "laws" are completely irrelevant and down right retarded.

I would just like to point out William Blum said this
"If I were the president, I could stop terrorist attacks against the United States in a few days. Permanently. I would first apologize to all the widows and orphans, the tortured and impoverished, and all the many millions of other victims of American imperialism. Then I would announce, in all sincerity, to every corner of the world, that America's global interventions have come to an end, and inform Israel that it is no longer the 51st state of the USA but now-- oddly enough -- a foreign country. I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims. There would be more than enough money. One year's military budget of 330 billion dollars is equal to more than $18,000 an hour for every hour since Jesus Christ was born. That's what I'd do on my first three days in the White House. On the fourth day, I'd be assassinated."

Ignorance at it's finest. He should know above all that hatred cannot be dissolved by money, and that, in itself, is another reason why Middle Eastern countries hate us. We try to "buy" friends.

While I do agree with him that we need to treat Isreal as a foreign country and not a 51st state, his ideas of stopping terrorism in a day is preposterous.

The US being rich hasn't helped us out yet, how could Blum think that us 'giving charity' to others would help?

I agree with your post by the way, just pointing it out.

haha i have that quote on my door at home. ummm i don't think he mentions charity as such, but more reparations you know. but i do agree with you in that some things he says are a little absurd but some things are quite true as they can be backed up by well documented evidence. plenty of it in: "Us foreign Policy: a study in Hypocrisy".

Chomsky on the other hand, has a reply to any question of him as a conspiracy theorist. he backs every statement with facts. A talent that makes him 'one of the most important intellectuals alive"

It's very easy to speak your mind, but when there's nothing backing it, what's the point?

Well to other countries, 'reperations' will look just like Charity. Think of it this way; a rich guy fucks you over and blows up your house so the daughter feels bad and gives you a few bucks (not enough to rebuild your house, because in comparison, some things that they've lost in the middleeast is irreplacable). That would feel like charity right?

NK says that they have a bomb. when a country gets a bomb, it gives them some level of immunity. thats why bush is pressuring iran hardest because he lost the race with NK due to their isolation. now the race is on to stop iran from getting a bomb and ultimatley immunity.
