Iraq And The Nuclear Option

December 18, 2002 | ISSUE 38•47

Last week, President Bush said he would not rule out using nuclear weapons against enemies wielding weapons of mass destruction. What do you think?

  • Well, that seems like a pretty sensible policy that won't have any negative longterm repercussions among nuclear-capable nations already wary of the U.S.

    Dana Klugh
    Homemaker

  • It's about time we had a president who's not afraid to step up to the plate and make the biggest mistake in the history of world civilization.

  • He's bluffing. Bush could never bring himself to deliberately nuke that many oil fields.

  • That reminds me. I've got some leftover falafel I'm gonna go nuke for lunch. This is called 'displacement behavior.' It is not working.

    Carl Roberts
    Engineer

  • It's like the late '80s all over again: A Bush threatening war, nuclear paranoia, me involved in a protracted legal battle over an alleged sex crime...

    Larry Golub

  • You know the scariest thing about this whole situation? Me, neither. It's impossible to decide.
