Date: 2009-07-01 08:09 pm (UTC)Anyone who seriously thinks that America would be improved by detonating a mass effect weapon in an American city is a dangerous lunatic. Full stop.
The detonation of one nuclear weapon in a US city would fill every critical care bed and burn unit in the country with the survivors who lived that long.
I've seen a badly burned person. Multiply by thousands. I've seen dead bodies. Multiply by thousands. I've seen a child with major trauma. Multiply by thousands.
There is some truth to the idea that Americans have become too complacent in a lot of ways. However mass death is not a wake up call, just as the bodies of our citizens on September 11th were not Bin Laden's stationery.
