Answer 1

Whoa, these people clearly did not read that concise rhetorical punch of an essay. Anyhow children, if you legitimize the use of nuclear weapons, you are gonna get hit. Bet on it.
You could not defend the towers! Your military HQ's got hit by a plane! If you want to retain the many comforts provided by life in the first world you will have to keep a lot of dangerous and hard to control materials moving around the planet for all sorts of reasons. I mean planes, fertilizer, cars, fireworks, all sort of civilian second-hand radioactive products!!! There's two ways to keep those safe: 1. Give up your democracy and give complete control to a totalitarian government obsessed with protecting itself from all the people it tortures into a life consuming obsession with revenge. 2. Give up other people's resources, and therefore your bling-bling burning gasoline lifestyles, and lead the way towards an international democracy where nothing is more illegal than war.

Please check the link to the biblical passage indicated above by some Christian taleban. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19:11-21;&version=50;
Talk about protestant jihadis. I suggest you read Mathew 5-7. The sermon on the mount. Here is a link. http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/matthew/matthew5.htm
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God"

So, what can we conclude? Poison a few hundred thousand people with radioactivity again and assure yourself that thousands of people are going to support whatever organization can teach you all a lesson not to bring down so much suffering on fellow humans. That includes Wahabis, Nationalists, Ally countries and enemy countries or whatever name the next arrangements of hate and domination may hold.
It's common sense. Don't let racism blind your reason, browns can make big bad guns too. These guns are real big and bad, even the baby ones, to big and bad to not hurt hundreds of people. You want to inspire from your neighbors admiration, not burning hatred.
For the more technical stuff, read Mr. G's link. It explains it elementary school plain.
Yo, take a good advice, oppose war.
Peace.

Answer 2

The Terrorists that bombed the World Trade Center and the Pentagon are war criminals. For some reason people still hate on Bush even though he kept the unemployment below 6% and EVERY SINCE Obama took office It has been rising. How could it be Bushes fault if his whole two terms had a better economy than Obamas time in? Bush wasn't perfect...but damn i would rather have him than Obama. I Kind of wish Hilary Beat him. At least she supports our troops and would not cut as many benefits as Obama has. Us military families are struggling here!

Answer 3

It really doesn't matter whether they see a nuclear war as winnable or not. They see it more as a one way ticket to eternal heavenly bliss courtesy of the Rapture. So when this planet is covered with atomic ash and all us liberals, atheists, Muslims, Bush browbeaters and other lost souls are going through our well deserved tribulations, according to their "gleeful" take on reality, Jesus will come in his heavenly chariot and whisk them away to the celestial realms. I can assure you that there will be at least one Christian conservative here who will verify everything that I just said. They WANT IT TO HAPPEN. They even pray for it.

Answer 4

Of course republicans believe that a nuclear war is winnable, as long it is led by Secretary of defense Santa Claus, with air command help from General Tooth Fairy, and Ground support from General Easter Bunny. How could you even question their logic?

Answer 5

I don't agree that a nuclear war is "winnable", because both sides lose, if Mutally Assured Destruction dosen't occur. But I suppose you could kill millions of innocents before they kill yours, I guess that's a win.

Also, if a nuclear war was truly "winnable" the Cold War should have erupted into a nuclear war.

Answer 6

Contrary to popular belief, there *can* be a winner in a nuclear war IF you can cripple your opponent's counter-strike capabilities quickly enough or you have some method of blocking their incoming missiles.

Countries that are geographically large have a better chance of surviving--too much area to strike effectively. It also helps you space out your cities; overcrowding is a bad idea once nuclear weapons are invented.

Answer 7

MOST DEFINITELY a nuclear holocaust is winnable...

by whom?.....


Revelation 19:11-21



#*#*#*#*#


That's exactly the kind of 'intellectual' that fights against the restraints of common sense and reasoning....the idiot far below and no doubt to the left, who accuses me of being a 'Christian taliban".... where in my comment did i support nuclear holocaust? Nowhere..

I stated the Scripture passage that states that the Lord of lords and King of kings....will bring war to these nations, and the nations in return will gather their armies to oppose the Son of Man, the Firstborn of God.

It doesn't matter whether or not the nations attempt to use nuclear weapons against God Himself, or against God's own Son.... Jehovah God will not allow these weapons to be effective against Him or against His Son Jesus....

God CREATED ALL of the ATOMS in the entire universe, and, as Einstein's theory discovered, God created all of this vast physical universe OUT OF PURE ENERGY, of which He has always had, and will always have, an UNLIMITED supply.

that is why i can say with the utmost confidence that He will NOT PERMIT mankind to destroy themselves in a nuclear holocaust.... He may allow many of them to be used, and there may be a horrific death toll as a result....

but from out of those dead, He can resurrect any whom He chooses.


He will also NOT PERMIT the Earth to be destroyed... He created it to be inhabited by God-loving and God-fearing holy people, who also love this prized possession, and take care of it and beutify the Earth...

He is VERY MUCH to be FEARED...

man is NOTHING, and all of man's armies put together are NOTHING.... when compared with "Jehovah of armies"

Answer 8

Sadly yes and more than agree.A part of them sees nuking as the ultimate and realistic option in dealing with conflicts around the world.I believe they believe that more than the top Republicans do

Answer 9

What, like George Bush Jnr said the Iraqi war was?

Answer 10

So America wants to threaten us with complete destruction? The only winners would be rats and cockroaches. America will destroy us all to cut off its nose despite its face.
