Comments on: No Nukes! https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/04/12/no-nukes/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 13 Apr 2006 02:55:51 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/04/12/no-nukes/comment-page-1/#comment-538 Thu, 13 Apr 2006 02:55:51 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/04/12/no-nukes/#comment-538 I’ve done some target designation and have dealt with underground facilities. I know about intelligent weapons, hell, my Dad designed them, and they are all developed locally.

We can locate the entrances with great certainty using the same equipment we deploy on space missions. We can seal the entrances and not risk releasing whatever stupidity is in the bunker.

If the nuke misses and doesn’t incinerate the contents of the bunker, but breaks the containment barriers, hell only knows what will be released in addition to the radiation.

I don’t guess any of these people have seen the Andromeda Strain.

OT: the link counter only puts it in moderation. I hand delete if necessary.

They suggest the very same thing you do, Bryan: using conventional bombs to seal the entrances. Makes sense to me.

Nukes are intrinsically different from all other weapons, in a way the current administration either fails to comprehend, or else comprehends and accepts the ensuing worldwide disaster. If the U.S. uses nuclear weapons in a pre-emptive strike, a (metaphorical) genie will be unleashed that may ultimately consume us all. One way or another, the nuts must be prevented from using nuclear weapons against Iran.
