War = Waste = Wastelands = Wasted Planet = Wasted Opportunity

from Vinod B.    Jun 03

All war is a waste.

All war is outdated. The time for wars was before 2000 AD. In the Millennium of Convergence 2001-3000 AD war is a hangover from the immature divided un-networked past.

Nuclear weapons is one aspect - just the dangerous fruit of roots provided by pre-2000-AD-divided-culture and pre-2000-AD-divided-overviews.

Lets get beyond this. Together. ASAP.

A World Free of Nuclear Weapons

from Ashley H.    Oct 24, 2007

Here on Change.org, I think most of us are aware of the problems in our world. But besides global warming, no other social problem has the ability to literally change our civiliazation as we know it, and destroy the human race. All we would need is one major nuclear accident (it's almost happened several times before). Physicians for Social Responsibility just released a study that concluded that even a limited, regional nuclear war (say between India and Pakistan) would kill up to 1 billion people globally from a nuclear winter, change in crops, famine, etc. These weapons didn't come from anyone else but us. We made political decisions to create them, and we can make political decisions to eliminate them. Check out Council for a Livable World's page if you want to help work toward a world free of nuclear weapons! http://www.change.org/nonprofits/view/43986

We Must Take Responsibility

from Julie M.    Jun 05, 2007

All of us share responsibility for the future of peace. Those who support nuclear weapons are full of delusion. Humanity's ego has engendered the world not only with nuclear weapons but with our precious environment as well.  The human desire for destruction and power must change.  A revolution should and WILL start with America.

Continuing

from Princess E.    Apr 24, 2007

Not merely nuclear weapons....rather all weapons....
Weapons promote violence, crime, death, pain, suffering and the list travels on.
We should be aiming to eradicate nuclear weapons as well as knives, guns, all of these issues....

Untargeted, Uncalculated, Complete Destruction

from Jason M.    Feb 24, 2007

Every tree, every person, everything...gone.  That would be cost of nuclear war.  No more, no less.  Meeting an elderly survivor of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima really humanized this issue for me.  Decades later, her speech about the day of total destruction still made her cry.  What's worse, today's nukes would dwarf the power of the WWII-ending blasts.  If even one country were to initiate nuclear war, we'd be wiped out before you could say "Oops, not that button...let's try this one...".  There's no option in my mind but to disarm every one of those useless things and I hope I'll live to see the day they're gone.
