If the US had not developed that long list of nuclear weapons,
do you believe that the Soviets would have refrained from
building them first?  I don't.  And if they had built them first
do you beleive that they wouldn't have taken advantage of their
superiority to dominate the world and maintain their supremacy.

I agree that nuclear weapons are a menace, and the world would be
a better place without them.  The mechanism to eliminate them
is not well defined, and we would do as well to bury our heads
in the sand as to unilaterally quit working on nuclear weapons.
The solution is still "Solution Unsatisfactory," as described
by R. A. Heinlein.
