[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]Now imagine some Iraqi/Libyan/North Korean general saying: "we're up against an utterly massive force, and the ONLY way to eliminate them without taking massive casualties is to use our biological or chemical weapons. That's the exact same line of reasoning they used when the decision to hit Japan was made." How is that different?[/i] It's different in that we did not START the war. It's also different in that the Axis of Evil as currently defined is a problem because they attack CIVILIAN targets, not military. [i]Y'know, I wouldn't mind hearing some Omega-Rationaliztions of the Holocaust.[/i] You want some of my fanciful situations where the end would justify killing six million innocents? Um... OK, say Q decided to play a little game, just to see how we'd react. I said they were fanciful. [i]You use weapons of mass destruction, and in retaliation, someone will use one on you.[/i] That's why we avoid proliferation as best we can. [i]You think that big ol' bombs will help your people, when, all that they'll do is ensure the deaths of many more than conventional fighting will allow.[/i] No more than lots of little bombs would. There is NOTHING magical about a nuke. It's just really (REALLY) powerful for the size. People need to realize that it's not a question of the weapon used, it's a question of what you're hitting. We are NOT talking about nuking entire cities, here. We're talking about hitting troops. [/QB][/QUOTE]
