Latest technology weapons ! who are we kidding !

What are weapons for,when we humans themselves are weapons in every phase.They have created so many deadly missiles and nuclear kind of arms and weaponry system which are of no use rather than to kill and create havoc everywhere,can't we solve disputes over nations regarding boundaries and all sorts of unwanted egos. Weapons have never served us well rather than being showcased for our delight during the national day parades and all.The nations engage in ware fares without proper understanding I guess,a lot patience is needed to make compromises among countries over any matter.Better facilities must be provide ,by the money i.e is being lost for making and importing weapons for defense.When no war must be created by human kind,then why this,simple waste of so many billions,there are around quarter of this globe filled with people starving for one time meal a day,but who cares,right.

Hi, The way innocent people are being killed by militants and violence it is better there were sophisticated weapon to guard ourselves. That they could go to the wrong is future possibility. Is not it? Look for the nuke bomb. Were not two cities destroyed and the effect is still not gone? But we are armed with those lethal weapon. similarly thee should be policy so that all those weapons be handed over after th combing operation is over.

Unfortunately the American nation is on a treadmill if they do not continue to advance weaponry they would probably be overwhelmed. The advance in weaponry To the Russians at the stand off. Also jeering the second world war the advantage in being able to reduce many weapons led to the downfall of the axis nations, otherwise we might all be speaking Japanese or German today. The other side of the coin is it seems that the more weapons are produced more temptation there is to use them. Americans seems to have been at war with almost every nation on the earth at one time or another in their history. They started with their Indian nations, Canada and England, Mexico, Spain, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, the list goes on. They presently have Cold War relations with Cuba, Iran, North Korea. The only other alternative is to become isolationist and let the world solve its own squabbles, and I do not know if this is a good choice. If the Western world does not invent these weapons possibly somebody else would and we would be defenseless against them.

greed can take many unimaginable forms. weapons is a huge business (perhaps the biggest business in the world) where else could you sell a piece of metal not worth a few dollars for millions? fear is created amongst nations to force them to buy weapons. and in a quest of 'my weapons are better than yours' - the mad rat race continues. hence the interest is in the problem itself and not solving the problem. developers and manufacturers of weapons are limited to a few countries and they supply to the entire world legally or illegally. so unless 'they' have the 'weapons' to attack us, how would we spend billions in defending ourselves. millions are being sacrificed so that a few can mint money - welcome to the real world...

I think that we are acctually leaking way to much infromation to the terriost and so on because we are showing them on purpose what the newest weapon or explosive is so they know how to avoid it and how to stop it or so on so forth and they may not think about it but the terriosts watch satillelite tv just the same as we do and they use shows like that to know whats going on in the nato countries. and also i really do think they could make better items then weapons of mass destruction but sad to say is that if humans didn't make weapons of mass destruction for war we wouldn't be on mylot now talking as it was the weapons and intelligence races of WWII that made computers possible because the first computer was made during WWII to compile infromation and break codes for the allies and if WWI and WWII hadn't happened we wouldn't be able to go all the way from Canada to China in only what 1 day at the most it would take months just to get to the coast let alone all the weeks to get to hong kong or whatever by either foot or donkey or whatever animal or cart or whatever you have. So weapons of mass destruction may not be our favourite things but without them we would still be genarations behind where we are right now.

I agree that the weapons falling in wrong hands will end up harming us more and giving out information like this is not advisable when so many terrorist organizations are looking forward and are willing to spend an indecent amount of money on getting advanced weapons 'but' (yes there is a but) I have to point this out that these terrorists, or Somali pirates as someone mentioned above, already have weapons which were once legally sanctioned by some countries government. In the ideal world, it would have been perfect if we can say 'lets stop building weapons' and it happens, but here, every country is involved in an arms race. Building better weapons is bad, no doubt, but we cannot do without them either. For example, having mentioned the unsocial elements like terrorists and pirates have cutting edge technology in weaponry and an arsenal-money stash large enough to cause trouble for as long as they way, we actually do not have any other choice to either stay a step ahead of them. That being said, i would have preferred if it indeed was the ideal world and the money used for development of weapons of mass destruction could have been used to develop alternate sources of energy, more jobs or better infrastructure, health care, epidemic-pandemic preventive research etc.

I agree with you. Creating advanced weaponry would only hasten our doom. Yes it's true, we are creating advanced weapons to guard us, but it can also be used against us. Instead of creating advanced weaponry, we should focus in creating advanced technology that can protect us from natural disaster, or feed the hungry, and stuff like that.

they should have never shown that kind of weapons on television or terrorist might get eager to buy hi-tech weapons too. look at the somalia pirates, they don't just have forks and showels but advance weaponry and communication devices that captures people on their boats in their territory.

Developing new advance weapons should never be promoted or encouraged even for defensive programs because if by mistake that weapons falls in the hands of our enemies its the end of the world.We cannot be sure that they won't lay their hands on them because one greedy officer at a higher rank is enough to slip the blueprints. already there has been threat of biological weapons in n.korea and iran etc.even though US develops a big weapon and if it falls in wrong hand we are doomed.so production and advancements in weapons should be stopped

It is indeed a sad world we live in. Why are we still building weapons. We need to try and promote peace and not war. I do agree all these weapons are going to get into the hands of the wrong people. The people will use the weapons for distruction of the world. I wonder if they can really deal with killing of all mankind. They will self distruct until there is nothing else in the world. Happy lotting.
