On the other hand, in case you're interested in a more logical distribution<br>
of nuclear warfare potential, I have several ideas that might interest you<br>
and other readers.<br>
<br>
Instead of the present arrangement we could<br>
<br>
(A) choose a nation at random to possess all of America's nuclear-related<br>
weapons. I suppose that there is just as good a chance of (most<br>
likely) some African nation being as or more responsible than the<br>
president of the U.S.<br>
(B) the United States could donate all of its nuclear arsenal to the U.N.,<br>
although as in (A) most likely an African leader would end up in<br>
control of it. But at least it would be fair.<br>
(C) go back to the cold-war (which turned out well, by the way) using<br>
the MAD principle. So tomorrow the U.S. could just give away<br>
around half of its nuclear arsenal to, say, Russia or China.<br>
<br>
Or maybe you have some ideas of how an even better distribution<br>
of nuclear armaments could be devised that would be entirely<br>
superior to the present arrangement.<br>
