I have a busy day, mate. Gonna type this up quick and we'll chat later if you wish.

When did I say strike? And I figured we were referring to larger populations. Hence my reference regarding government influence never ceasing to spread. The more it spreads the larger both governing and civilian bodies become.

I meant WMDs strictly as a means to threaten. I'm aware you'd make more enemies but trust me, nuclear powers have threatened foreign nations with nuclear force far more often than anyone believes. And it's worked. Obviously they won't advertise such a thing across the bloody media outlets. Also, I meant having WMDs, in general, should be prohibited if they wish to be in a position of power. That's what I meant by leverage. They can threaten anyone. Doesn't mean it will be their own people. Probably won't be. But, they might threaten others. And we don't want that either.
