| Aug 6 1945.
Today is the 61st anniversary of the first atomic bombing in history.
For better or worse it ended a war, but it let the genie out of the bottle for WMD's.
I would hope the president of Iran could be kidnapped and taken to Auschwitz, then to Hiroshima and made to understand what his rhetoric is leading too.
But then, he would probably get sexual satifaction in it.

| There were rumours of a nuclear hand grenade being developed in the 1950's.
It could wipe out anything within a 70 foot radius. problem was it could only be tossed 50 feet.

Country: | hey, if your gonna go out for your country, than do it with a bang. What bigger better bang than a Nuclear blast, right.
However, that wouldn't be such a bad idea if we didn't have C4, that is. Put it in the form of a plastic explosive. I mean if they could fit it for a hand grenade. It could be used for more hardened target that C4 couldn't get when there's no possibility of close air support.
