Ah, but Ian specifically said "dirty nukes", not radioactive
waste, Alan. And of course I should have replied "To have a dirty
*nuclear* bomb", my bad.

But to be fair, I am man enough to try to see Ian's point. Let's
see if I can follow his logic.

The reason the the US was in Europe wasn't to save jolly old
England, it was to stop Hitler flying a few hundred Kilos of medical
waste across the Atlantic in a plane that didn't exist to explode it
over New York, whereupon the US would cease to make war on him.

Thank you, Captain Mainwearing...

Getting 75,000+ members of your armed services killed in something
other than a war might be considered careless.

Which is just as well, really, as you didn't 'save jolly old England'. The
Russians did.
