I am not an advocate of nuclear weapons. I was just saying that part of the appeal comes from the power acquired without having to actually use them.

The diplomatic power of A bombs has lessened with the international consensus among most actors that using them would be unthinkable, if only because the retaliation. But Bush seems to have been trying to bring them back into category of weapons that might actually be used with his "bunker busting" nuke rhetoric.
