The Cost of Freedom

There are many reasons given for our non action in regards to nuclear proliferation such as we cannot go it alone, we do not have the resources, too expensive, and what right do we do have to say who should have nuclear weapons. Keeping those reasons in mind think about this scenario in which one automobile explodes containing a nuclear weapon in a major US city, I estimate the probable expense in both human lives lost and economic dollars would be greater than the cost of a hundred Iraq’s. Closer to home it would probably mean a 30 to 50% decrease in your investment portfolio and real estate holdings. We can pay now for security, or leave it to our children to pay. It appears to me as a nation we have decided to let our children pay a huge cost that we do not want to shoulder.
