I guess that's why I'll never be president, lol :-)
We could flatten places with conventional bombs and that's a deterrent for any other country from starting a war with us. I think we should maybe just have maybe 5 nukes... or less. If someone started something, we should not need thousands of bombs. If it ever came to that, the time for land and water to be safe would be long after many life forms are extinct. Maybe I'm exaggerating the impact of these things, but I saw a documentary on Chernobyl, and that place is not useable for a couple hundred thousand years. The Russian leader said, there's no reason to cause such devastation on purpose. He said, look at the damage, all from an accident.
I guess I should be happy that even if there's a bunch of bombs, praise God nobody is using them :-)
