Montana Cowboy,

I am not saying that we need a World War, and I understand why we cannot have one. The loser would feel as though it needs to fire nukes at the end. With that said, maybe every country sould have nukes. Then, we wouldn't have any wars anymore, which would be fine with me. However, what happens if a mad man gets his hand on nukes. If the Arabs beat the crap out of the Israelis, would the Israelis use nukes since they have them and the Arabs do not? I wonder about that.

My point is that in conventional warfare, it would be much easier for our military if they just needed to plow down a nation instead of trying to keep peace, arrange for a new gov't, etc. Do you think we would have had a problem winning the Korean war or the Vietnam war if we treated the entire country the way we treated Germany, Japan, and Italy. Those wars would have been over in a year or two with very little casualties to the US. That is my point.
