Prevent any Bush war on Iran

Congress must make sure that G.W. Bush does not make or declare war on Iran. If war on Iran becomes necessary, which is extremely unlikely, it should occur only after the next presidential election.

Atomic weapons have been used in only one conflict, WWII. Since then, they have been primarily a waste of money by all weapon developers. The weapons cannot be used because any use would bring massive retaliation by one or more countries. Usage would be suicidal. The world has had two examples of what atomic weapons can do. The world doesn’t want or need any more examples.

In the recent proposed nuclear agreement between the US and India, India promises “No first use” of nuclear weapons. If all, or a substantial majority, of the nuclear powers were to agree to such a pledge, and to back it up by agreeing to attack any first user, the whole strategic balance would probably change. All atomic weapons would be good only as threats, if that.
