Quote:Y'know, war plans are fine. That's the sort of thing the military is supposed to do, and they do it as a matter of course. Hell, somewhere in the dark recesses of the Pentagon there are plans for an invasion of Canada "just in case," and the Canadians have regular military exercises involving US invasions.
So I ask again why not update and develop war plans?
So war plans are not a problem here. However, when the people in charge of those war plans start throwing around ideas like the preemptive use of nuclear weapons, I get nervous. Call me crazy.
And hell, if we're so all hell-bent on keeping nukes out of the hands of the lesser nations, why aren't we rattling our sabres at North Korea, a country whose leadership is demonstrably crazier than Iran's, and positioned to do a hell of a lot more damage to our friends and allies? For that matter, why exactly are we going into a nuclear technology-exchange with India, a country that's steadfastly refused to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty? There seems to be a bit of hypocracy in the air here...---
