Granted, the use of nuclear weapons is terrible, but I still think it is neccessary to have them. If it werent for Hiroshima the United States and Japan wouldve lost millions and millions of citizens due to the invasion that wouldve taken place of Japan had nuclear weapons not been invented. Also nuclear weapons were the reason why the cold war remained cold. and didnt turn into World War Three.

As regards to the thread, I believe that nuclear weapons must be reserved to the few countries that can be trusted not to end the world- countries like Iran and North Korea cannot be trusted with such capabilities, harsh but true.
