Big bombs prevent war

Letter to the editor; (a guest-rant by Don Blaster)

I hearby submit to you readers THE solution to eliminate ALL WARS ! (But does that defy the Bible which states that “There will always be wars and talk of wars”?)

THE solution, already tried as an experiment that froze the Cold War before it could ever get hot, is based upon “MAD,” the agreed-upon policy of Mutually Assured Destruction between the Soviet Union and the U.S. -- when we were the only (or main) owners of weaponry capable of destroying the Earth's population many times over. The scenario is that if one of the two attacks the other, there is so much latent revenge firepower provenly remaining that the one to attack would also be eliminated. It exists. It worked. It is proven.

NOW, what we do is get the entire world on the same MAD agreement, so that ANY nation that attacks another will be jumped upon by the others and turned into a cinder! Set it up! Mean it! If necessary, DO IT!

Since it forced the owners of thousands of nukes to hold their borders between them, why would it not work for all? Imagine -- no more plans to eliminate Israel, no more Tibets, no more Georgias, no more Iraqs, no more Viet Nams, no more Koreas, no more World Wars!

Countries like China can spend $43 Billion to prepare for the Olympics because they are not spending themselves into bankruptcy with wars at present.
I M A G I N E, if ALL countries could use their wealth and assets for such improvements, making for an Olympic Solution to poverty. disease, much crime, etc. !!!

Ahhh, “But all will not agree to such a solution,” you say, “because there are still enough countries and their Greedster leaders who covet the assets of other nations over which they have no control!” God, help us. God, let the world adopt THE solution to war, as stated above. Jihad is supposed to be internal improvement of self, not the forceful overtaking of others, their beliefs, their lands, their lives . . .

[Hey! We could give about half-a-dozen nukes to each country in the world. The knowledge that all the neighboring nations have identical immense power might make the tin-pot dictators of the world behave themselves.]
