>Walter, I have 2 questions for you:
>
>1) What is your opinion of the U.S. using nuclear weapons on Japan in 1945?
>
>2) Suppose your country had been the country directly attacked on 9/11, with the same damage and loss of life,etc. Those who perpetrated the attack had also been part of the same group that had previously taken your citizens hostage for over a year, and bombed a military barrack in what was (at the time) the biggest non-nuclear explosion in worl'd history, killing hundreds. These groups do not represent a single nation-state, though they've been sponsored by different countries. These people are likely planning more attacks. What would you have your country do?
Biggest non nuclear eplosion ? It was a truck bomb . Big but not that big.
