This article about the Senate scaping the ban on low-yield nuclear weapons has raised my anger level.

Now, I'm part of the first generation to not live under the threat of nuclear destruction. And I have to say, that's probably a good thing...not wondering if the fires of Hell are about to desend from the sky.

Now the Senate, and the White House, and the Pentagon, wants to bring that age back to life.

A nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon, period. No matter what the yield is, it's a nuke. Radiation will result. And if we start building them again, prompting known and suspected nuclear powers will likely do the same. And if they're used in a war (again, no matter what the yield), back and forth, leveling buildings and cities and vaporizing people and whole regions, then our children HAVE NO FUTURE.
