Going Nuclear

I was never a member of CND, Greenpeace yes as I felt we were destroying our environment, but not CND. Nuclear weapons as a deterrent seemed to make sense. Not so sure now. When would you ever condone the use of nuclear weapons? Once it gets to that stage it is too late. If someone lets loose a nuclear bomb is there really any value in sending one back? We would all be dead anyway. And would it deter terrorists or rogue nations, those in powerare not driven by logic in those situations so it is hardly going to help. Then look at what we seem to have decided to do. Oh yes, we will cut back. Instead of 200 bombs we will have 160, and we might cut our subs from 4 to 3. Percentage-wise it might sound great, 20% and 25%, but that's just statistics (as is so much with Labour, stat fluff). In reality there is really no significant difference in those numbers, the amount of damage done by 160 bombs is unthinkable.
