Bush, Other Leaders Rebuke North Korea

Bugger.

Why is it thought to be a good idea using nuclear weaponry?

It's likely we could lose this planet (a small one I might add) using that kind of crap.

This planet was not made to operate with that kind of crap. Even if the intention was to a nail particular group or nation, the effects of fallout alone would be farther spread than would be intended by any interested party.

The likelyhood of tactical nuclear weaponry is slim in my opinion. It has not yet shown through to me that tactical usage has been the point of testing. That would be bad still, it's use being so sporadic that entire areas would be under quarentine do to a lack of knownledge on the state of it's contamination. From the seeming lack of danger apparent from gorilla-like battlegrounds it would likely lure more to sickness and disease accomanying occupation of areas like that.

Oh ya, you could also blow a chunk out of the planet and knock the axis...or burn a hole severe enough in the ozone to endanger life on the planet as a whole.

So I guess there is not too much going against doing this kind of thing - just ape level logic on the survival of any creature on the planet.

My message to those involved:

Knock of the tiddly-winks with the people of this planet, we don't need it.
