Had Germany acquired the bomb they would've used it. Had Japan acquired the bomb, they would've used it against the United States.

Had Germany held out longer than the Japanese, refusing to surrender, we would've bombed Germany as well. Nuclear weapons were nearly used against the United States in the Cuban missile crises.

That nutjob in Iran, equal to the terrorists in Iraq, would be willing to annihilate the arabs near Israel in order to wipe Israel off the map.

Communists have no morals, why should they care whom they hurt, maim, injure and kill. Arabs justify murdering their own brethren by claiming that the deaths of the shachids (martyrs) would give the "collateral damage" a free-ticket to paradise, and the victims would get the same ride.

People are capable of the most gruesome atrocities because they become desensitized to it. If a Waffen SS trooper or an NKVD agent can slit the throats of women, smash children against rail cars, torture, drown, and ultimately kill those who are defenseless with their own hands, how much more difficult is it to achieve the same end with the press of a button?

Not difficult at all.

August, are you referring to the "Silent Wars" b/w China and the U.S. as being that of the armed conflicts in Korea and Vietnam?

Curious here.
