I like nukes!! They have prevented major wars! They will continue to do so unless they are in the hands of true "nut cases".
I am glad we nuked Japan, I most likely would have never been born. Nor would untold numbers of American and Japanese people alive today. The death toll from an invasion of the "main island" would have been
far greater than the result of the nukes. We asked them
several times, through multiple paths to surrender, they did not. Just look at the battle for Okinawa, that would have paled if we had to attack the main island. (based on history, interviews with Japanese officials after the war, AND, talking with Japanese people when I lived there. Many of whom were of the same opinion)
I am NOT worried about a straight up nuke attack from Iran or North Korea. That is NOT what they are planning and testing for. They ARE planning and testing for a "EMP" attack, which would be FAR more devistating than a "normal" air burst attack. But hey, what do I know about nukes and their uses?
Experience is of no value.
