Nuclear power Gene
Due in most part to the unrelenting work of Dr. Helen Caldicott and others of the anti Nuclear movement , I am almost certain that by now millions across the globe have developed a greater understanding of the negative impact of this foolish nuclear obsessions by many countries – either as a form of energy , or in their quest to develop weapons of mass destruction , so as to perhaps produce another devastating , though unacknowledged Hiroshima , and Nagasaki genocide.
The question therefore is why after all the harmful fall outs and close shaves , aren’t folks in the global community not more outraged , and or concerned to the point where they are prepared to tell their respective leaders , “no mas ,but stop the procrastinations, and please leaders give us jobs, respectable infrastructure, education for our kids, concrete security measures,efficient health care systems , and other prudent services that a geared towards us, as a people , country , and well-ordered , safe planet ?”
America has millions , yet still cannot find a 6 feet plus Muslim thug in an Afghan bat cave , even after two highly wasteful , unnecessary wars. Europeans and Russians are laden with them , still many are cowering in fear , though unprepared to use it against each other.Some say deterrence at work, others , American citizens tax dollars. http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/Allbombs.html
North Korea, Iraq,and Libya have wasted millions of resources in their quest to acquire it , and have paid a dear price ,some more than others . Israel posses it,though pretending to herself not to , yet feels less safe, and more impotent against determined regional Islamic enemies without similar American tax dollars heavily subsidized , firepower than on the day of Independence.

Neocolonial ,elitist South Asian competing tribes in both India, and Pakistan are unconcerned that more than perhaps 90 % of their citizens might be living in squalor and neglect ,under the poverty line , so long as they can spend billions in the acquisition of their nuclear toys, and feel as if somehow they are relevant ,respected , civilize players ,in the modern developed world nuclear power game . http://www.subcontinent.com/research/sapra_documents/nuclear20000612a.html
As for China? Talk about a disaster waiting to happen , re this unregulated, pseudo democratic , post socialist wannabe, Human Rights abusing country !
It’s insecure leaders are not even mindful of the harm they are causing across the world , as they strive to become the next global hegemonic leader, and Nuclear Super power.
So Al Gore , and Jimmy Carter remains silent on their own country’s actions in endangering millions at home and abroad due to nuclear proclivity , since getting their respective Nobel Peace prize trophies.Dr Helen might get one too as the Norwegians run out of politically correct causes to honor , and the poor desperate Indians from Brazil would still be blamed for global warming , due the fact that they burn a few log woods from the Amazon for survival.
In the mean time non state actors , and insignificant countries – laden with natural resources that can foster nuclear technology , such as Niger – are portrayed as the problem , and threat to global peace . http://www.thehour.com/story/484269.
Where do you stand in demanding a final elimination of all nuclear weapons and curbing of nuclear energy obsessions, or is it too late to put that power gene back into the bottle?
