Greetings EEVBees:
--I look forward to seeing the the new documentary "Countdown To Zero", as recommended by our gracious host. Now that the the "Nuclear Freeze" movement is not receiving millions of dollars (possibly from the KGB), in order to leave Europe vulnerable to nuclear blackmail, I find nuclear disarmament to be a more palatable subject.
--Certainly, in many cases nuclear weapons prove to be to big of a hammer, and are a security problem. Whether we can ever successfully let go of the dragon's tail remains to be seen. But the sooner we get rid of them, the sooner the Antiwar folks can start working their way down to outlawing the Bow and Arrow.
--I will wait and see "Countdown To Zero" before making a pronouncement, but, inasmuch as the producer was "Lawrence Bender", who also produced "An Inconvenient Truth", which was replete with over-simplifications, misstatements, and outright attempts to deceive, I am not sanguine with regard to its prospects. I would expect intellectual honesty from Mr. Bender about as much as I would expect Richard Dawkins to start smart-mouthing Muslims in addition to Christians.
