I was browsing through some of the old mails my friends had sent me, which I had marked "to be read later". One particular news caught my attention. It was an link of a CNN page which read like this,
"Russia tests 'dad of all bombs'"
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/09/12/russia.bomb.ap/index.html
It was news about a new bomb that was developed by the Russians, which is a non nuclear weapon, which can create as much destruction as a nuclear weapon could do, without damaging the environment. It is said in the news it was created in response to an American bomb dubbed as the mother of all bombs, dad is 4 times as deadly as the mom.
I was just wondering what the heck to boast about such a capability in a civilized society? Just a bit of a translation to the heading they have given, Russia had developed a bomb which can kill a 400,000 people in a instant without any damage to the environment. How does that sound, sadistic??? And it was created in an response to an American bomb which can kill 100,000 people. Sounds any better? It just translates to this at the end!! What is the all about? They will defend their actions saying that it is only for their defense since US pose a threat to them and it is just a show of strength. But I have a bad feeling about this, and if at all US and Russia go in to the mode of Cold War again, what is the gurantee that they will use these weapons on the countries that support the other power? There is no telling for sure until the exact moment happens! until they fire the bombs on the innocent lives across the globe.
A lingering question comes to my mind now, which country posses the weapons of mass destruction(WMD),
1. Iraq
2. Iran
3. Russia
4. USA
Whatever happens to this international drama, as for me boasting that they have a bomb that can kill 100,000 people is really a matter of shame, whatever their argument be. This world is really to live, not to die fighting for, irrespective of the country and religion.
