Senate Republicans to Back Nuclear Arms Treaty

Look at the mess Truman's advisers caused when they told him to bomb Japan so the USSR would have nothing to say about that area. He foolishly took the stand that the bomb made us the superpower "of the Free World." He & other public officials put us in horrible debt by paying profiteers who make the ghastly things. Everyone knows even small amounts of nuclear weapon parts are dangerous but we've even used some of them in the MidEast. Who knows which soldiers will suffer from being in contact with them, even moving them to battle areas. It is disgusting that corporations are seling us dimwit taxpayers these horrible weapons. It was a mistake to change the name of the War Department. Calling it the Department of Defense makes it seem as if we need to be "on constant defense against enemies on all sides, maybe friendly today but turning on us tomorrow." Many presidents were unable to negotiate with anti-capitalist nations because they took with them their ability to threaten to nuke a potential enemy. Nukes are merchandise. Ban them forever.
