Good luck with that, I haven't managed to regain mine yet.
*nod* Oh right, that makes sense... a Nagasaki-scale bomb wouldn't be even nearly strong enough to be felt so far. I think. Uh, I really have no idea about these things, I just read articles and gape at them in horror. Just kind of might have hoped America would have retained at least enough sense not to use anything even BIGGER than the A-bomb but then again, it's AMERICA. If we gotta use it, let's at least make it a big bang and scare them up good... sounds about his thought process.
I think their use is illegal. I'm pretty sure. Because I think I've seen at least two different sources say that the use of nuclear weapons in general is illegal and considered a crime against humanity or something like that (except, apparently, for depleted uranium weapons because they, apparently, weren't "meant" to be nuclear weapons, they just happen to me made of dangerous material that's impossible to purify or clean away, and because apparently it's impossible to prove that a sudden rise of cancer, infertility and birth defect rates in the Middle East could have anything to do with loads of unprotected nuclear waste being transported there as weapons and being blown up in the air as explosives or left lying around)... But then again if they are already using the H-bomb... okay never mind, having N-Bombs outlawed sounds good and I'm not going to argue lest you actually make them use them.
