grue 1 #1 September 21, 2007 When I was a kid, if my brother and I were fighting over something, be it the Nintendo, a GI Joe, Legos, or whatever, my mom would tell us to share or she'd just take it away. After a while, we realized we were better off sharing than having nothing. This is a fully scalable solution. Step 1: On the first of October, the US, China and Russia should jointly announce that the Israeli and Palestinian people have one year to find a way to play nice on their own, or there will be dire consequences. Step 2: On the first of October 2008, review the situation. If it is satisfactory, problem solved. If it is not, proceed to Step 3. Step 3: The US, China and Russia jointly announce that the inhabitants the contested regions have 180 days to leave, and on the 181st day, the entire area will be nuked into a giant sheet of glass. The world can spare a bit of money to get everyone out and situated, then get the nukes going and effectively take away the area so people can't fight over it any more. Who's with me?cavete terrae.

nerdgirl 0 #10 September 21, 2007 Quote Quote Neutron bombs.....kills all the idiots leaves all the infrastructure.... Sounds good to me. No radioactivity? A multiple-ton volume-detonation aviation bomb (aka "vacuum bomb" or "Father of All Bombs") can provide similar explosive effect w/out radioactivity. Russia released video on 11 Sept (probably available on Youtube) purportedly of a test. Officials (e.g., Colonel-General Rukshin for those who follow such) have been touting the "environmental" aspects ...

Amazon 7 #11 September 21, 2007 Most of it is gone in 2 weeks...but it does flatten alot of houses etc...it is after all still a thermonuclear device and there is some blast damage. The warheads are very small in comparison The main effect is to dose anyone within about 1000 meters with about 80 Gy....6Gy is considered lethal but you get too many left alive but very sick but still capable of fnatacism.. because they know they do not have long to live.

Step 4: the ex inhabitants now start fighting with their new neighbors in all of their relocations. Step 5: the rest of the world sees a spike in cancer rates due to the large amount of fallout stemming from nuking an entire geographic region.
