Nuclear Terrorism - The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe - I

[Jones8564]

I'ts not a matter of if now.. it's just a matter of when.

[sagafoundation]

I cannot but agree with everything said in the video. The challenge is that our concerns don't get out from youtube and scholarly articles down to the general public. The issue is too complicated and most people are not as concerned with nuclear terrorism as with global warming or a war in Iraq. Only when all the grass movements, non-profit organizations and think-tanks unite their efforts, there can be some effect and progress on the issue

[ododidit]

if any nukes go off, people will need to ask who had the power to do it and who was to gain from it!! i certainly dont believe for a minute that a terrorist group or country supporting them would gain anything but hardship and war, i can however think of people much closer to home who would!!

[peejaa]

what the hell are you smokeing? there are many countrys who would love to kill off the hole world. thats what thay think needs to happin! the 12th emon is comeing!! lmfao you libs just dont get what is really going on do you? ... its ok we are hear for ya :)

[5uffy]

"we are hear for ya": Oh, well shucks don't I be feeling safe now! Hyuck! :B

Truman should be tried for war crimes, in my opinion. I mean wasn't there something called the Geneva Convention? Does the ban on chemical warfare ring a bell? @

SicKxDiSeaSeD: "an estimated 1,000,000 lives would have been lost". Really? Got any reliable sources for that, I mean besides the White Power Factbook?

[FieldingYost]

he's got the idea. We cannot 100% of the time physicaly stop something. What we should be concerned about is motive. Its our actions that matter

[KDKAPOOR]

The bad guys in Pakistan & Afghanistan have been looking for a dirty bomb for years. They even might have some. With Gen. Musharraf being everyones' friend, nothing is impossible. The U S Govt. knows how bad things are or could get, but do not want to admit for that would scare the **** out of everyone.

Stay Tuned.

Google is a search engine to find other articles, news sources, radio reports, so that you can educate and inform yourself.... or you can sit on the couch and be spoon fed. Yes, you have to be a critical thinker about all that you hear, read, and see.

[gmasa69]

this video is off the chain

[deemonSsS]

all this talk about a-bombs but waht about chemical and biolocal warfare?shoudn't these be restricted to?I think that thy are just as bat as a nuclear explotion or even worst

[jonaspv]

America is the only nuclear terrorist that I know of... Remember, Hiroshima? Nagasaki?

[SicKxDiSeaSeD]

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not acts of terrorism.

Terrorism is specifically aimed at noncombatant targets, Hiroshima and Nagasaki both were manufacturing weapons for the Japanese army.

The use of Atomic weapons on those cities actually saved more Japanese lives than it killed.

[carmagrib]

yeah, yeah, yeah... Japaneese army and fleet has been almost destroyed at those time. Usa just needed to demonstrate its power to soviet union and make its own military base near soviets. 100000 japaneese lives - a low price of domination)

[SicKxDiSeaSeD]

An estimated 1,000,000 lives would have been lost if we had launched an invasion of Japan, 100,000 is more than worth it.

[carmagrib]

Well, I see, You know what You'r talking about. The most terrible, that you are right. Human lives then and now are measured by thousand and millions...

[deemonSsS]

and about nukes why should Russia destroy it's nuclear arsenal?If you americans love peace so much why don't you give us an example and destroy YOUR nukes?Oh i forgot:the rest of the world needs do destoy it's weapons(nuclear,tank,air,naval forces) so we have to depend on YOU do defend us.That's a little wrong right?Or maybe when you invade us

it will be a lot easyer for you to occupy whole countrys(that have done nothin to you) with no reason

[jeroldlin]

PEOPLE NEED TO RESPECT EACH OTHER

that's a sure thing that we aren't doing to make all these shit happen

everyone can fear, everyone can hate, but no one has the right to take other people's live away

[boxa86]

HERE HERE... well said mate

[lumberghfuctr]

stop all terrorism!!

[mikehynek]

Valerie Plame's job was to find and track loose nukes.... and Karl Rove outed her. What does that say about this administration? Russia's nuclear warheads are not guarded as they should be... google it. Russians have been caught trying to sell them, google it. Stop watching fox news and cnn... they spoon feed you the b.s. they want to...

[cstrand31]

wow, definitely words from a man wearing an american flag on his lapel.

[d0dgerdante]

oh, ok? and what exactly did you have in mind? let me guess, no country except the US should have nukes? im not giving this a second thought unless this dude is suggesting to destroy every single nuke on this planet.

[PlanetBillard]

as this series progresses you will see more on disarmament. It is what many of the people who participated in this series are working on.

Global Warming - The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe

[Phatheading]

Ignorance to the facts is much. I'd rather know the dangers, and be able to handle it when it comes, than be oblivious to the facts, and regret getting "snuck up" on.

[arthurwilton]

The book that this video refers to, Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe is frightening but fantastic. (There's a review of it at the Yahoo Nuclear_Terrorism discussion group.) There's still time to contain a horrible nightmare and build a better world.
