Are you one of the billions of humans on the planet earth afraid of nuclear wars? Well it seems as many nations learn about how to make nuclear power they are also learning how to use the uranium and plutonium to make weapons. Yes, they are weapons of mass destruction as we saw in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in World War II. Not a very pretty thing to say the least. Some of the original designers of those weapons spent the rest of their lives trying to convince governments, military leaders and politicians to give up he quest for greater nuclear weapons.

There are many treaties in the world today about the use of nuclear weapons and many nations, both emerging and first world nations have atomic weapons programs and quite frankly this just scares the bejesus out of many a mortal man. Are you afraid of nuclear war as a Mainland Chinese General threatens that if the United States gets in the way of a re-unification or war with Taiwan that they will use nuclear weapons against us? Are you concerned when North Korean is making nuclear weapons underground when it is so close to our Asian Allies and has ICBMs; although crude with limited abilities; are able to hit them? Are you worried when Iran tells the world to take a flying leap when they ask them stop making nuclear bombs and the Russians will not entertain a security council sanctioned intervention?

If these things bother you and you are afraid of Nuclear War, then you probably have a good and justified reason for being scared. It scares a lot of folks and we should be thinking here.
