Coventry, Rotterdam, Dresden and Tokyo -- all the death that rained from the skies between 1939 and 1945 -- a hundred thousand blockbusters, two megatons!. Today, two megatons is the equivalent of a single thermonuclear bomb -- one bomb with the destructive force of the second world war!. But there are tens of thousands of nuclear weapons!.
