It seems as if some have learned nothing at all and make a possibly final decision rather... light hearted.
Not sure how to describe my thoughts and feelings regarding that matter.

I understand, I too grimace when people talk about 'nuking them mooslems back into the stone age (TM)' because they always neglect to think of the innocent casualties involved in such an act. That being said, our enemies tend to encourage the creation of collateral damage in their actions, making it hard for us to have a 'clean' war, if such a thing actually does exist.
In regards as to whether if we found ourselves in a position the same as August 1945 would it be acceptable to use nuclear weapons again...well, I just hope that we don't find ourselves in that situation.
That being said, I am fairly sure that at some point in the next century, someone, somewhere, is going to use a nuclear device of some form in an aggressive action.
