Interesting story about George W. Bush trying to get rules to curb the proliferation of Nuclear Weapons - an admirable thing to do, Nukes are generally not good things. Did get me thinking though...the US has currently the single largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, and they're the only country to have ever used nuclear weapons against another nation...hmm...makes me long for something like
Arthur C. Clarke wrote about in the book
'The Trigger', a device which would deactivate all mechanised weapons instantaneously.
It's sad that we managed to get into a state where we can't get rid of such horrific weapons for the fear of the same weapon being used against us - I just can't see a way out of it, problem is, no-one trusts anyone anymore...
