Therefore, show me signatories of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and show me signatories of Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and I will show you hypocrites!

Now, just because you may not be around to tell what struck you during a nuclear war, let me tell you power of just one-megaton bomb!

Act 1. Actor : Thermal Radiation (Call him Light and Heat).

You are going to be blinded by a terrible flash of light that would pale Saul’s experience into naught. You will be vaporized by intense heat of fireball. Your house, clothes, furniture and neighbors will end up in a fire twice burning power of core of sun! And your dead body will be bathed by a black sooty rain!

Act 2. Actor: Air Blast. (Call him wind). A terrible hurricane generated by nuclear blast carries you, your house, and debris, to where only God knows! You and your neighbors suffocate to death with pieces of glass and metal buried in your body. Your ears, eyes and lungs rupture. Your flesh is hanging from your body and dragging on ground, and your hair standing on end.

Act 3. Actor: Radiation. (Call him undertaker)

Your body is given a special treat by neutrons and gamma rays. Result? Nausea, vomiting, convulsion, tremor, ataxia, hemorrhaging and lethargy are your friends. And cancer, infertility, abortion, diarrhea, weakness, nervous disorder, deformed children, stillborn and infectious diseases are your relatives. And if you die or are mortally wounded, flies and maggots will be your attendants.

The unfortunate survivor will have only one inglorious job -- gathering and lighting of dead bodies, and die in end by an epidemic. Or if there are no survivors, vultures and scavengers (if any are left), will eat, to eat no more.

You can choose now. Would you like to die or to survive coming nuclear disaster? Whatever your choice is, do not write a will. Because there will be no property or inheritors!

The land, vegetation and waters will be left, though too poisoned to sustain life. But which survivor (if at all) would like to inherit a poisoned estate?

The universe is a terrible place. Although there is order in galactic formation, there are millions of periodic and non-periodic comets out there. You could tell when Halley’s comet would come, but you cannot be sure of comet Hale-Bopp.

Thank Heavens for atmosphere. Thousands of earth- bound comets have perished there, leaving occasional flares and ashes to tell story. But one day, one of several wondering comets could catch us napping. Not even best scientific wonder could stop it. One passed dangerously close other day, and exited before anyone could say “Our Father!”

Planet earth may not be all-time lucky. It may have fate of Jupiter. When comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hit it, Jupiter as not knocked out of orbit, nor was it smitten to finest particles. But two earths could comfortably fit into one of mighty wounds of Jupiter resulting from blow. And come to think of it. Only a few pieces of comet hit Jupiter!

Now, suppose Shoe-maker had hit earth?

Do not shudder at that because it may be that one Kamikaze asteroid is racing toward earth at a million times speed of light as you read this. So if we had been ducking smaller comets, we have to get set for show down. Because even before we could get our telescopes to get a closer look, killer comet would have done its worst. Time out!
