Genereth, what are you talking about? "A country is only a target because it has nuclear weapons"!!! Jeezus wheel-spinning cruciforms! The only reason we're still here is that we have these weapons. There are countries that hate us, and would anihilate us if they possibly could. China suggested a pre-emptive strike to the Russians in the 60's as they felt they would have more survivors left afterwards. It was the Russians chickened out. That wasn't coz they were scared of us, they hate us. Nukes may be utterly distasteful, I for one think so, but today they are a neccessity for freedom.
