Nuclear Bomb Persuasive Speech

7 November 2013
The Hemorrhage None Can Staunch The sunny morning of August 6, 1945 greeted the city of Hiroshima, Japan with the radiance of any other normal day; the cloudless sky and its forget-me-not blue casted an aura of heavenly peace over its three hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants. That peaceful heaven, however, was about to be obliterated by a destructive new weapon created by the United States of America. That morning, the first nuclear bomb ever created was deployed over Hiroshima. Its virtually unimaginable power obliterated the entire city along with forty percent of its population within seconds. America succeeded in creating the most destructive weapon mankind had ever seen, and it gave birth to a most evil type
This country possesses about one hundred weapons of mass destruction; this would be enough to wipe every major city of the U.S. off the map within seconds. Mr. Cirincione believes that the main issue in this country is Al Qaeda gaining access to these weapons and using them to carry out their evil plans, “What happens if the [Pakistan’s] government falls or the army splinters? Who gets the weapons? Or the scientist who know how to build the weapons, or the material for the weapons?” (Kanani. par.12). Mr. Cirincione is also the author of the book Bomb Scare: The History and Future of Nuclear Weapons, and here he claims that it is almost impossible for a terrorist to manufacture the materials to create nuclear weapons, unless they take them by force:
Nor can terrorist groups build a bomb from scratch, they cannot manufacture the highly enriched uranium (HEU) or plutonium necessary for the bomb’s core, this requires substantial industrial facilities beyond the capacity of any of such group. But they can steal the uranium or plutonium, or buy it from corrupt officials. If terrorists could buy or steal 25 kg of highly enriched uranium, a well-organized group could probably also obtain the necessary technical expertise to fashion a gun-assembly type bomb, similar to the Hiroshima bomb
Mr. Richard Turco, an atmospheric scientist, claims that: “detonating between 50 and 100 [nuclear] bombs - just 0.03% of the world 's arsenal - would throw enough soot into the atmosphere to create climactic anomalies unprecedented in human history” (Jhan. par. 3). At this moment it is believed that Pakistan and North Korea have close to 130 warheads of mass destruction under their possession. The detonation of their weapons alone would be enough, to make Mr. Turco’s discoveries a reality. Therefore disarming these two countries is definitely a priority, mostly because both governments are very unstable, and in the case of North Korea it is not a secret that they have attempted plans against the safety of the entire humanity with such arsenals, but even though the United Nations, and the IAEA are doing everything in their power to stop Pakistan and North Korea from manufacturing and initiating a nuclear war by condemning both countries to pay gigantic sanctions, both countries have continued to create such weapons.
In conclusion, the fact that these two countries possess such destructible power not only puts in danger the lives of those who inhabit the places where these arsenals are deployed, but the entire planet earth. Meanwhile, people around the world can only wait in the
