sounds like US pro-nuclear weaponry propaganda... the reality is that if eye for an eye leaves us all blind, then poking out eyes is wrong. possessing nukes is wrong for anyone, and their very creation was the problem, not controling their distribution. nuclear weapons anywhere are a threat to human beings everywhere, regardless of who possesses them.

the possibility of an eye for an eye (more of a head for a head) is what has kept us nuclear free since nagasaki even at the height of the cold war. goody-goody statements aside (i agree with NO NUKES, if it was possible), the strategic reality is what it is--it's not propaganda, deterrence works in a symmetrical scenario where both parties have a lot to lose.

when one of the nuclear-armed parties has nothing to lose, it's another story.
