What are they going to come up with next?

Bombs that can destroy a whole city wide area without causing radioactive fall out?

I wonder if the world needs another war ... I don't think so. All war does is cull the population down so that they can build it back up again, causing a trade embalance with the country that won the war.

Metal explodes. That's a nuke is it not. Uranium and plutonium are both metals are they not?

Well, a nuke isn't your conventional explosion

They're aids to/parts of reactions

I've never seen what is so wonderful about these wonder weapons. Just Rommel in his tank, and me in mine. Winner take all.

Don't worry the Iranians will still buy it after the test!

Safer for civilians? I guess as long as their not there when it goes off. At least from the sounds of it the would be no unexploded bomblets compared to cluster bombs.

I wonder if there is some toxic by product of these reactive metals that could cause problems in the future?:hmm:
