Our nuclear policy survives only because of military-industrial complex needs, including profit, jobs, retirement for generals and admirals, and campaign donations. Not good reasons when it comes to justifying a Doomsday Machine.

Even when their retirement ends and they are long forgotten we will still have to deal with either the fallout or deteriorating highly toxic materials. That's more dangerous than global warming.

It's always the hyperbole that exposes such naive offerings. Imagine the world if America didn't have any nuclear weapons, yet all the other nations in the world who now do still did. America's military-industrial complex issues are, indeed, horrific, but others' are even worse.
"Doomsday Machine" is truly an amazing book. Incredibly interesting, bizarre, scary, and, if knowledge truly IS power, perhaps the most important book we will ever read!
