Nuclear Peace!

Nuclear Peace!

One wonders if a major reason for world peace was development of the nuclear bomb: more strategic and less a tactical weapon, a deterrent that prevents one nation from attacking another thanks to the MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) doctrine. The ultimate weapon of destruction perhaps ended up becoming the ultimate weapon of peace.

Though most people link explosion of a nuclear bomb to the horrors of Hiroshima, it is interesting to know that about 390 Nuclear Bombs were exploded above the Earth’s ground level between 1951 and 1963 alone—which—some say, exposed the entire population of our world to radioactivity!

  1. U know what ? I am ashamed of governments. Because to the name of petrol, gas, or business, everybody gives the right to built nuclear. And nuclear must not exist. In any hands. And everybody closes the eyes, because of diplomatic relationship etc…. I cant understand this. And i am ashamed over all of my own government which had very bad attitudes in the past with the Iranian Shah, when he was forced to leave his country and asked the french government to have the right to come here. And we refused, because we prefered to receive Khomeiny Ayatollah. I am ashamed, because france was happy to go to Persepolis, no ? And be sure that i was always ashamed of french and france. Because i saw them in foreign countries, and they are certainly not good models.
