Letters: The madness of nuclear weapons

Dear Editor

When the Americans dropped atomic bombs on Japan in 1945, wiping out cities and thousands and thousands of people in an instant, mankind had reached the possibility of self destruction worldwide.

So far the peoples of the world have managed to restrain the madmen who still advocate the use of nuclear weapons.

These madmen, – for that is what they are – appear quite often on television supporting their use, but going further in advocating their first use.

How and why are they given the opportunity to promote such terrible actions? They really are totally mad.

Just think about it: what are they calling for? Are they really saying it will be in our and others best interests to decimate each other in the most horrible way?
