As previously mentioned that bomb did a very effective job of wiping out one major city. Once again, one can get sidetracked from considerations of the human consequences of nuclear bombs by considering the technical questions of whether particular bombs are capable of wiping out opposing missiles. For effectively wiping out opposing missiles questions of accuracy become important. For effectively wiping out a whole city's human population it doesn't especially matter if the bomb hits precisely in the center of the population density or not! There are some humans involved in this issue aren't there? Or don't they count? Tim Sevener whuxl!orb *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
