IMAGINE: One World Without Nuclear Weapons eileen fleming
"I believe that as soon as people want peace in the world they can have it. The only trouble is they are not aware they can get it. It's all down to you, mate …All we are saying is give peace a chance…All you need is love…Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one." -John Lennon
In a country that possesses 11,000 nuclear weapons with many in excess of 20,000,000 tons of TNT
yet claims to be based on the Judeo-Christian ethics, which includes the commandment that thou shall not kill, is staggering in it's hypocrisy.
In March 2008, President Bush announced his plan to build a new multi-billion dollar plan to rebuild the nation's nuclear weapons capabilities through the Department of Energy's Complex Transformation proposal. <1>
The centerpiece is a new nuclear weapons plant for the production of plutonium pits, the primary detonators in modern nuclear weapons and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, is the site slated for the new bomb plant.
America signed the NPT and thus is legally and morally obliged to reduce its nuclear weapons arsenal.
Mankind is the only species that has the choice of annihilating itself. "Since the end of the Cold War, the world has spent more than $10 trillion on armaments. The Untied States alone spends approximately $100 million every day to keep its nuclear arsenal at the ready." <2>
American money proclaims "In God We Trust" but the facts on the ground are that we have become an empire of blasphemers, for what we trust in are weapons of destruction.
