At last count in August 2005, the death toll from the atomic weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki stands at 379,776– some (50,000-100,000) from the blast itself, and others from radiation and fallout exposure in the following months and years.


...and counting.

We're supposed to be afraid of Iran, right?

And Bush wanted to know if mini-nukes were affordable or contrivable, some months ago, to "modernize" US nuclear weaponry. It would be handy to have some pocket nukes for "tactical" use.
Thank god that he had to learn that this isn't possible.
If it were possible, the world would have become an even safer place thanks to Georgies mini-nukes.
A man who says "nucular" shouldn't be allowed to have the key to such an armament.
Thanks to updates to some acts he's the only man on earth in a democracy who can decide to use nuclear weapons without needing the congress' or any other authority's blessing.

End of the day Bush causes alot more than he solves. If he had his way there would only be America. The day he gets hold of Mini nukes is the day the 4 hourse man ride in. :p

Yeah, but as I told above, those mini nukes aren't possible to produce.
Bush has some weird fantasies and no clue of what's possible, that's all.
So we won't see the 4 Riders in the next days. ;)

Why not destroy all of the Nukes in the world? No threat. That way people can win wars the good old fashioned way.

Just for relaxation:

Bush sucks, here's the proof:

And he's a moron:

Coincidence, I made this test rendering some months ago:

Title was: Enlightenment

By the way, I don't think that with Gore as president things would have gone very differently. The funny thing is that you have one party in america that is split into two parts with different names. Democrats and Republicans are quite the same, if you consider their policy, foreign and national.
Clinton as Democrat bombed together with the NATO a pharmaceuticals factory in Galenica, near Belgrade, the biggest one in Yugoslavia. People were told to wear gas masks but the civillians had no possibility to protect against the poisonous gases because they had no gas masks at all. That's no problem, we have a harmless sounding word for it, we simply call it collateral damage, problem solved. Villages and cities were bombed for 78 days in the Yugoslavian war, killing lots of elder people and children, of course.
The other factory was the only pharmaceuticals factory in Sudan, 1998. This factory produced Aspirin and was also the main Malaria drugs factory.
As a consequence over 1 million people had to die unnecessarily of Malaria and other minor diseases.

So what's the point of 3000 dead Americans? The point is that they weren't killed abroad but in their own country by people who learned flying the planes in America.
Now Americans got a taste of what Europeans and Israelis live with for a long time. We know the Basques, the IRA (Funded mainly by Irish Americans, by the way), the RAF (70's to 90's in Germany, with about 20 terroristic attacks, assasinations and abductions, this was the cause for the GSG9 to be formed, some of you may have heard of them), etc.

If Geroge bush believes that war will bring peace (prosperity only to the big American military firms) to the world, he might have misinterpreted the sentence "War is peace." in Orwell's 1984.

I don't know, am I too serious about it?

You can't really be too serious about this shit, but in all honesty, it's nothing most people can stop.

Bush is the kind of person that starts a war over the deaths of some 3,000 civilans in September 2001, then procedes to order a bombing run that kills 91 Afghan civilians, claiming that their deaths were wholly justified.

That's the world police in action.

One thing we can do is vote for the right people in elections.
At least go voting, don't miss any election!

dosent really matter who is the president as its the people behind him who control every thing. they tell Bush what to do, say etc.. The decide who to kill, attack etc.

so untill we have a black man incharge theres not much America Cant do..
I watched a video the other day and it ended with a really good point..
Said
America attacks if they have the slightest fear that they could be attacked. They attack if they want something. For these two reasons any country could be next.
Even though The UK is in support at the moment, one day they may want something we have and we will be blown up next.. could be anyone.. Canada, France, Malaysia...

Good point, Diagonal!

I don't think another skin color does change anything either.
See Colin Powell, he brought the "proof" for WMD in Iraq before the UN Council.
First I thought he was the only guy in the US government who was able to move things into a more bearable direction, but then we had to learn he was only Bush's ass-kisser. That's a pity, I really liked Powell.

The attacks are "preemptive strikes",
QUOTE
waged in an attempt to repel or defeat an imminent offensive or invasion, or to gain a strategic advantage in an impending (usually unavoidable) war.

The problem is, that these criteria can be doubted in case of the third war in the Gulf.
What the US are waging is a preventive war and this is definitely a violation of international law.
