Contemplation
All these opinions require more contemplation. I have contemplated and
decided that I can't answer everybody. However, I can venture my own opinion and that is: I wish nobody could use nuclear weapons.
However, we can't turn back the clock, so we should try to limit nuclear manufacture and use. Our treaties aren't as effective as we would like
and the people of the world are afraid of what may happen if an accident turns into a war by mistake. So, the United Nations tries to mediate disputes with treaties and so on. We are part of the United Nations.
As an integral part of the United Nations we have tried, as a country, to limit the widespread manufacture of nuclear weapons. Peaceful use of nuclear power is harder to regulate but needs to be kept a close eye on.
I imagine nuclear power would be another topic for discussion.
Responsible use of nuclear energy is not just up to our country, That is why we try to comply with and have treaties. I remember when we were
in the "duck and cover" era of civil defense. Now we know that nuclear war would cause horrific casualties and a nuclear winter around the globe.
I have seen radiation injuries. They are not a pretty picture. So, anyone
who thinks any "tom, dick and harry country" should have nukes should think again. We used the bomb twice against the Japanese. Please read Hershey's book HIROSHIMA. Realize that these things have happened in the past and that we, collectively, as a species should realize that this destruction should not happen again. There's that word "Collective" again.
Yes, we need to get it into our "hard drive" and ban the bomb as many places as we can.

Hello Silent Woman,
S(mith &)W(esson): I am glad to hear you believed me. I wondered.
NS: Now you’ve got me “wondering” why you’d wonder:
1. How anyone could take offense at the word, “Enjoy”?
2. Why (given its possibility) would they ever want to?
SW: i got so many friging opinions I hardly have enough bodily orifices to express them all.
NS:
That is a terrific line! Easy to relate to, too.
