For those would muster admiration for those shiny high-tect nuclear weapons "keeping the peace", this article should act as a pallitive. They are monstrously barbaric weapons. And the G20 (including six leaders of nuclear armed states) said in Bali last year, "The use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible." If that dictum were taken to heart, we could all work together on establishing a nuclear weapon/terror free world.
