Nuclear Weapons

After the president’s State of the Union address in January, I believe it becomes apparent and we must deal with the reality that the Democratic Western and Asian Nations have abandoned the concept of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons. Our children in their lifetime will most likely have to deal with a world where dozens of countries and non government organizations such as Al Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah possess nuclear weapons and various means of delivery, with all the ramifications that this proliferation of nuclear weapons involves. It must be remembered that historically a successful weapon system has never been developed without being used over and over.

In the 20th century we allowed about 170 million people can be killed either through war perpetrated by dictators or dictators exterminating their own population. The question is now with nuclear weapons possibly spreading to any nation or terrorist organization that desires these weapons; will the 21st century be as bloody as the 20th century? I sincerely hope for our children sake that my concerns are unfounded. Best regards, Larry
