| #7 Nimble Spemble: Except, unfortunately, their fallout will spill over onto a lot of friendly places. One of the reasons the US was so adamant about ending atmospheric testing is because we are particularly vulnerable to it. The jet stream has a "downdraft" right over middle America, so any radioactive particles that make it there will descend like a waterfall. This was why America was so agitated when Strontium-90 started appearing in our milk supply from Russian tests. So nukes popped in Europe, northern Africa, the ME and most of Asia will share the wealth with us. If you want a lot of these third and fourth world nations to be cooled, avian flu is much better to hope for. But that, too, is shall we say, indiscriminate? |

| #6 MAD still works well for countries. These will not be pointed at the US, but at eachother. It's fine with me. The more of eachother they kill, the happier I will be. |

| #4 I really hope that the US can manufacture a small and effective anti-missile laser that can be mounted on smaller aircraft. Hopefully, in some great demonstration, we can convince most of the world that missiles are obsolete. |

| #2 I might suggest that anyone who has ever had a desire to visit NY do so soon. In ten years or so we are unlikely to be here at this rate... |
