The problem of more countries entering the nuclear club is that the
increase of "Dr. Strangelove: and how I learned to love the Bomb"
comes about. The issue of the nuclear genie, is that once it is used,
it will take at least 1,000 years for an area to become habital again.
The problem is that of safeguards and controls. The US and Russia have
higher safeguards and nuclear controls in regard to launch than other
other nations do. The problem is that whether, a third world nation
will think of safeguards and controls?

Let me know what you think.

Funny - 'couple years back, I spent an entire day strolling through
Hiroshima with no observable adverse effects. And the local Japanese
citizenry appeared quite normal and healthy as well.

All considerably short of a thousand years after "it" was used.

"A thousand years" seems to be a tad flexible in some arenas. Some
idiot named Hitler said something about "a thousand year reich.
