Nearly two hundred wars have been fought around the world since the atom bombs were dropped and the politicians sit in their offices and send ordinary people out to die.

Also don't forget about the other arguements against nuclear weapons, such as the pollution caused by manufacturing such weapons and transporting waste leaves areas contaminated. Areas in Berkshire are severly contaminated to the point where cancers and illnesses affecting the nervous system are high, and children are more likely to be born with physical and learning disabilities.

That's hardly true! The United States dropped the bomb at the first chance it had. OK so Japan couldn't retaliate with a counter attack but doesn't the scenario of the Second World War, particularly the war in the Pacific, remind you of Israel and the surrounding Arabs? Just because the Arabs don't have the bomb do you think this would prevent Israel from using it if they started losing a future war?

Furthermore, the spiralling costs of the nuclear arms race is draining the resources out of the domestic economy.
And just witness the consequences of the arms race of the Cold War. Thousands of nuclear warheads left unaccounted for in Russia. Does the Black Market ring any bells?

And what 'theatre of war'? Is it the case that the large nations of the world are sitting behind their desks itching to go to war with one another but feel restricted from doing so simply because the other side also has nukes? That doesn't sound too likely. It's just fear nowadays.

And if they are planning on another world war then we're all fucked really so time to start living it up while you still have the time because it's within our lifetimes that the resources of the earth will run dry.

Tony Blair has a nuclear bunker, a nuclear protection suit, a good chance of getting rescued afterwards, as do all the leaders who possess these weapons. Leaders are more likely to be psychopaths than the rest of us. Or as yer man once sang :

There's been rumors of war and wars that have been
The meaning of the life has been lost in the wind
And some people thinkin' that the end is close by
"Stead of learnin' to live they are learning to die.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.

I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see
When someone is pullin' the wool over me
And if this war comes and death's all around
Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground.
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.
