Nuclear Weapons, Insanity, Cowardice

"More than a decade and a half after the Cold War ended, the world's combined stockpile of nuclear warheads remain at a very high level: more than 22,000. Of these, nearly 4,500 warheads are considered operational, of which nearly 2,000 U.S. and Russian warheads are on high alert, ready for use on short notice.

The exact number of nuclear weapons in each country's possession is a closely held national secret."

-Federation of American Scientists.

In the words of U.S. president Jimmy Carter, 1979:

Just one of our relatively invulnerable Poseidon submarines - less than two percent of our total nuclear force of submarines, aircraft, and land based missiles - carries enough warheads to destroy every large and medium-sized city in the Soviet Union. Our deterrent is overwhelming.'

The depths of human insanity, cowardice are bottomless.


The Dogs of War are creatures of fear and hatred. Not in their nature to be peaceful.

And they are everywhere. In every country, every town. Not necessarily only in the armed forces.

The following song by Roger Waters is an interesting comment on oil politics, nuclear weapons, and the severely catatonic state of mind of our politicians...people who take policy decisions that influence billions of lives.

Roger Waters is far from crazy and paranoid.
