I don't think people understood the meaning of the post. From what I read he just asked what people were thinking about the weapon tests not that the US has used the weapons before.
ONTO THE HEATED DISCUSSION: I don't mind that the US has a strong military and frequently upgrade it. But I really don't like the way the goverment has led it all in the past. They seem to have taken more rights from people than what they have given, outside of UN preacekeeping. (This will hopefully change in the future)
Just look at what they did to south america and the middle east. As long as they don't abuse their powers I will be fine with the weapons arsenal.
(I am Chilean, I know what crimes they have done and how they have tried to justify them.)
