Entirely. I read some where, humans are the only race that are in such a hurry to kill their own. This is because I think, humans have a brain to think and develop things so that they can own the world even by killing the very last person on earth.

It would be nice if all the countries stopped manufacturing and using nuclear weapons but it is not going to happen. Not many countries will agree to dismantling theirs while there is ever a possibility that some of the countries like Iran and North Korea continue to build and test these bombs. The world has seen how the leaders of these 2 countries treat their own population, so what would they do to the rest of the world if there were no nuclear weapons other than their own.

Of course the world would be better and safer for everyone if nuclear weapons were not around, but they are and it is simply a fact of life. It is impossible to think that ALL countries would discontinue the use of nuclear weapons and anything other than 100% compliance with such a decision would be just as disastrous (or more) than the current situation.

The United States took another step yesterday toward building a new stockpile of up to 2,200 deployed nuclear weapons that would last well into the 21st century, announcing the start of a multiyear process to repair and replace facilities where they would be developed and assembled and where older warheads could be more rapidly dismantled.
Thomas P. D'Agostino, head of defense programs for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), told reporters that the "Complex 2030" program would repair or replace "inefficient, old and expensive [to maintain]" facilities at eight sites, including some buildings going back to the 1940s Manhattan Project that built the first atomic bombs. He said the sites -- primarily in California, New Mexico, Texas and Tennessee -- "are not sustainable for the long term."
i dont like the sounds of this.

It would be nice to have a world completely free of nucleur weapons, but it is an unrealsistic dream.
The technology is available to every country on the planet, so if a total nucleur disarmament was agreed on and complied with it would create a situation whereby any country could secretly build a nuclear armament and become a dominant power.
This would be a serious problem with countries that have dictatorship rule.

What a LOVELY idea!!
Unfortunately we would have all the "Civilised" countries signing up for it.
And the "Dictatorships" rubbing their hands with glee that they could do what they wanted when they wanted!!
Not sure this is the right place to post this, but......
IF Saddam Hussein had managed to manufacture Nukes, in my opinion he would have used them against Israel!!!
During the first Gulf War, he launched his "Scuds" against Israel to try and get them to come into the war. This would have inflamed the Arab Nations and WALLAH !!!! Here we go for the World War III
No Thanks !!!!
