Mos Def was most definitely in over his head.

Chernobyl wasn't nuclear weapons it was energy. He should most definetely stick to music.

@Jones025 countries are not all the same. we are talking about an islamic fashistoid theocracy who is going nuclear and you busy yourself with self-flagellation? i mean how decadent is that? you think you are safe anyway? or are you religious or what? well i'm afraid. i fear those muslim fanatics. i think they are crazy. big time crazy! you don't let them flurish and do appeacement until they run you over? we are not that untouchable.. wake up yourself!

@LukeGriffths121 Let's just convene on the fact that we both know Hitchens is the man.

@Jones025 Because 10 million Germans died from the Allied Invasion and only 200k civilians died from the bomb.

Thats why.

@Maniac50AE I agree with you about the gun control being idiotic and not the cause of human violence. My main point is that full nuclear disarmament will almost certainly allow another large scale war to start, then once it starts, there is nothing to stop governments from building and using nuclear weapons. At least by having the nukes, we avoid large scale ww2 level wars amongst industrialized nations.

Japan wasn't/isn't communist. Also what was the problem with the US defeating Japan the dame way they defeated Germany???? They didn't have to defeat them with nukes. I say that to say this........... all nations no matter what religious or political motives they have should disarm their nukes. This nuclear thing isn't just a political, relgious or power thing........ it's a human thing due to the fact that it could kill us all. Wake up people!

@Brosnbroccoli Most. It is a shame it did not happen

@Jones025

Dude...

Imagine what could of happened if the U.S didn't use those nukes. Russia-China-Japan-Korea -> If that happened, how many countries do you think would be communist countries today?

[Jones025]

I agree with Mos Def. How can the US say that certain can't have nuclear weapons due to a possible "nuclear threat" from them. However the US is a the only country in history that has used them against other counties i.e Hiroshima/Nagasaki. So who's are the real terrorist? Could it be the country that bullies everybody, tries to dictate and control what other countries do and has used Nuclear weapons. I mean really people we need to wake up and see things for what they really are!

Christopher Hitchens, Salman Rushdie and Mos Def, who thought that was ever going to be a good idea

I like Mos as a rapper / actor, but in the presence of Hitchens he needs to shut the fuck up.
