The most recent Richter scale 9 underwater Earthquake near Indonesia a few years back created a tsunami that crossed half the planet, and IIRC killed in total about 200000 people. A 100 MT bomb exploded on one of the Worlds mega cities would annihilate the whole city, and kill everyone in it. The loss of life would be in the millions. There is another reason not to use nuclear weapons:- The fallout from your own bombs will get carried around the planet by the jet stream and end up killing many of your own people. Nuclear weapons are lose - lose. In fact war in general is lose - lose. It always results in loss of both life and property, and sets the whole of society back. As a race, humanity is much too quick to solve its problems by killing someone else. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <mixent...@aussiebroadband.com.au>
