Is the world on the brink of war?

None, I hope. So instead, let's spend £100 billion on ensuring our conventional forces have the equipment they need, with perhaps a little something left over for our health and education services?

People are been conned for political gain using nuclear weapons to get votes which is a outrage. Have people read about the effects of nuclear war and that life on earth would be difficult if not impossible. If you say you will not use them first then if a country used them first we would be gone.

The better way to fight a war is economic or by germ or biological warfare where the enemy would not know what had hit them until they were dead. Are they really saying they woud have dropped a atom bomb on Argentina during the Falklands war and they would have got away with this outrage, and parliment would have had to vote on this and the british people informed and it is a load of rubbish in my opinion. If you have children surely you want them to not live under the threat of nuclear war and so why are people not trying to get rid of nuclear bombs.? oh yes the idea that this country could have its own nuclear war without the USA involved is stupid and our nuclear detterant is not independant.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
