What if we were looking at more than a test today?

What would have happened? Who would be at war with whom? And over what? Would it matter? If we were looking at a world engaged in a nuclear holocaust, would any question matter?

We cannot afford to continue this madness. Disarmament is not an option. It has been complete lunacy to allow nations to obtain and perfect nuclear weapons.

We need to rein in any nuclear capacity of nations engaged in chronic violence. There is no way North Korea should be tolerated or allowed to achieve this capacity. Fifty years ago American soldiers died to secure an ally in South Korea, only to allow this mess. It can't be tolerated. What 'good' is assured mutual destruction?
