I feel that it is more out of selfishness rather than a desire to preserve peace that people havent gone nuke crazy yet. Think about it: one considerably sized nuke set off and the whole world would be up in arms bombing the shit out of each other. The weapons are there as a scare tactic but unless you get a totally wacky ruler in a nation, they wont be used for selfish fear of retaliation.

Actually the B-29 has two bottom turrets, but they are remote controlled by the assistant flight engineer and the radar operator. I am fairly sure you are correct though, the bottom turrets (there were 2) were removed to allow for extra passengers (10,000 rounds of ammo is a lot of weight). Bockscar dropped 'Fat Man' on Nagasaki. It's Asst. Flight Engineer was: Staff Sgt. Ray Gallagher Radar Operator: Staff Sgt. Edward Buckley Enola Gay dropped 'Little Boy' on Hiroshima. Asst. Flight Engineer: Sergeant Robert Shumard Radar Operator: Sergeant Joe Stiborik Enola Gay carried a modified crew (smaller) because they were unsure of what was going to happen when the bomb dropped. I don't see "Anderson" (Plainview's mayor) on either flight's manifest. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

QUOTE (Jessica @ Sep 18 2006, 01:24 PM) honestly, i see it from both sides. I dont think its that liberals or conservatives dont know whats best. It sometimes is a good idea to repeatedly attempt diplomatic relations because going to war would cost thousands of lives, especially if the people arent backing a dictator govt. I dont know. I think its kind of pointless to point fingers at liberals or conservatives on this issue. Many think that the other side has an extreme-type view and thats not the case. Liberals feel conservatives always want war and vice versa when a lot of times that just isnt the case. ... I.... I.... _agree_ with something Jessica said.
