snowboard_freak 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 G'Day Everyone, With the other thread going on at the moment i thought i would see if any other countries are having protests etc This Sunday there are protests planned in every (i think) major city in Australia at 12pm. It is expected to be the biggest protest to date. Personally i think it is too late, and i think the organisers know this too as they put on the flyers something like - "when war breaks out, 5pm on the day". ie - saying that when war breaks out there will be a protest at 5pm on that day. Anyway i was wondering if any other countries are having protests etc?? Link to post Share on other sites

nekobi 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 i went to one in matsumoto on january 18th- it coincided with marches in the US. there were about 50 people walking thru the streets and we had a megaphone (or bullhorn or whatever it's called) to say things. but most people spoke in japanese, so i don't know what was said.

damian 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Nek - they were probably yelling "all gaijins out! all gaijins out!" I hope you made it to the correct protest march. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 yep. A nuke will go bang in 2003. Link to post Share on other sites
wendy-cake 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Do you reckon? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 yes, a greater than 50% chance. just gut feel, no other reason. However I think it will "only" be a small tactical type, not an ICBM. I think that some countries are very close to creating "conventional" small missiles that use nuclear energy in the detonation, just to get that little bit of extra bang but without the otherwise required weight and size.

mogski 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 There is such a thing as a "small tactical type" nuke? A nuke is a nuke whereever you stand. Although you probably won't be standing. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Who does everyone think is going to be the second party ever to unleash a nuclear devide....second after the US of course. I reckon it will be the US. Link to post Share on other sites
RayInJapan 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 In spite of Americas threat to use nukes to retaliate for another country using a WMD first, I don't think they will unless the target is a US city AND we know for a fact the WMD was state sponsored. Even then, I doubt the US would use them. BUT, 9-11 was horrific and it was only 2 buildings. Imagine a terrorist setting off a nuke in a major world city? Something I try not to think about but my daughter lives a few miles outside Dallas... How many here have been to the dome and museum in Hiroshima? Very humbling. If we're going to debate whether it should have been done though, it needs to be in another thread as this one is all about peace (or should be anyway...) Link to post Share on other sites
