A Bombs & America

Evrybody knows how to build an atomic bomb. There are many books on the subject, easily available; any graduate student in physics can tell you how to build an atomic bomb.

The problem is getting the materials, equipment, and machinary necessary to actually assemble one, or more than one. It is actually rather hard to believe that any modern nation wanting to have atomic bombs hasn't already built them, including Iran.

It would not be surprising to discover that Iran indeed has bombs, and the launching systems capable of delivering them to, say, Israel.  If the Israelis strike Iran, Iran may strike back, harder than expected.

Wouldn't it be obvious to any neutral observer that the solution lies not in bullying Iran to remain non nuclear, but rather in eliminating all atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs from the face of the planet? Shouldn't those issues, Iran, and worldwide nuclear disarmament, be linked?

The United States behaves as if it has the God given right to maintain thousands of atomic bombs, and to simultaneously dictate which other nations may own them. And, of course, the U.S. does indeed have that right, because, truly, might makes right, and America has the  military might.

But not the moral right. The United States really has no moral right whatever to dictate anything to anybody concerning atomic bombs, considering it own destructive history. But, as long as america has the right of military might, it is good that America uses that might-right to urge non members of the nuclear club to not join, so far. 

One hopes that Amreica never starts arming the world with atomic bombs, like it has small arms, military aircraft, and artillary.
