Maybe one of the reasons for no nukes going off is because we (the USA and Canada, and British) aka the West, won't let some countries get one. Some countries are full for fanatics who would chose their own personal demise to bring down those who want freedom. I would rather the weapons and power be in the hands leaders who are elected to represent them and their freedom and rights as a human being, rather than a dictator who uses brute force to gain and retain power at any cost. There are bad folks out there and someone needs to stand up to them. Not every confrontation requires complete aniallation, just the power to crush it. If our sonar hurts the whales, then find out the frequencies that don't hurt them and use those. There is more than one way to get things done. There is a good and bad, right and wrong. If this post breaks any of our rules, please delete it. Freedom isn't free. It takes diligence and work to keep it (and technology)
