Nuclear Disarmament

I think we should just start unilaterally getting rid of them. What better example of leadership would there be than that?

What's the downside?

Am I missing something?

The existence of our 10,000 warheads obviously doesn't deter Al Queda from anything. They would probably like nothing better than for us to use a "tactical" weapon. I can't imagine a scenario where we would actually drop them on anybody else. We've already proven that we have the most effective military on the planet.

Obama and McCain seem to generally agree on this topic but Obama only addresses the issue page 8 of his defense fact sheet PDF. McCain talks about it on his website but both camps maintain that we will maintain an effect nuclear deterence.

Is anyone else disturbed by this post? Wireless mouse recommendations, nucular disarmament, and playing tetris inside emacs in Terminal.app. Which one of these posts does not belong (and is far from inane)?
