Tactical nukes in the 1 to 5 kiloton yield range were considered during the cold war (for use by normal ground forces alongside conventional weapons)
But there was no way of preventing the use of such weapons from escalating into full-blown thermonuclear war against the russians or chinese.
It sounds like Bush and his crew are reconsidering that.

If this happens, an allie of the recently nuked would nuke the US, then they would revenge, and again, and again, until everyone is dead or they ran out of nukes.
Nukes = Human destruction.
Bush can sit in his little bunker but who will he reign over when everyone is dead? Uh?

Tactical nukes, if developed, would be used alongside 'conventional' weapons. Unlike, say, the 'Daisycutter' or the 'Mother of all bombs' which might well be more powerful, nukes are obviously radioactive. This means that when you use one if might well backfire when your troops have to go throught the area. They are also not needed when you consider some of the more powerful 'conventional' weapons. Things such as the bomb which works by producing a huge cloud of gas (petrol or someother petrolium product) and igniting it.
Stratigic nukes are used on things like cities. Basicily a MAD (mutuailly (sp?) assured destruction) situation would develop. (Unless you were fighting a country like Israel, which doesn't have to many cities or nukes, and you were a country like Russia, which has lots of both.) They are also no use on a battlefield 'cause they are, too powerful and too radioactive.
as i said the magazine mentioned using them as bunkerbusters...
i think the only "good" bomb is the new emp - no harm to living beings...

omfg, in the hands of the americans they probs drop it somewhere like wales by mistake - or wuld it b a mistake?
If Bush is given permission to start using Nukes I am going to build a Nuclear Bunker will it with food an supplys because I can't see much hope for the world.
It makes you wonder how one person can have so little regard to logic, reason and the world in general? What is he trying to prove? I would love to spend a day in his mind and see what is going on there.

Bush has not only decided to pull the U$ out of the SALT treaty, but also the treaty to ban the developing and testing of nuclear weapons, including tactical nukes.
Recently, Bush has also decided that the U$ and the U$ alone shall own space for tactical weapon deployment even though China has several times tried to lead the world to a UN resolution using space for only exploration and science. Naturally, Bush and the neo-cons have vetoed it.

Too my knowledge EMP hasn't been develloped far enough to actually work without the use of Nuclear Weapons in high orbit. The so called EMP weapon isn't develloped enough. And radioshack says they have the tools to make a small EMP to destroy a small thing like a computer or what not, well that's not what it's meant to be used for but it doesn't matter cause it doesnt work good enough.

About two months back the U.S. Congress authorized 2.5 bn for development of tactical nuclear weapons.
Is this an indication that it is time for the people to get over their petty differences, inherent separatness or isolation and make agreements founded in the greatest commonality?
