If you were just intent on killing people you could do better with a bomb made of agricultural fertiliser.

The threat of terrorism is great and with today's porous borders, someone could bring a biological weapon into our country or sneak a dirty bomb across unmanned portions of our borders.
But I think the bomb instead constitutes merely a first step in a new control by man over the forces of nature too revolutionary and dangerous to fit into old concepts.
I think I just want to garden - or kill some plants, in my case.
Even with the best intentions, you can have a nuclear war, a nuclear holocaust, through miscalculation, through accidents.
The only way to kill militancy, to reduce it, is to provide opportunities to people who have no opportunities. I've always told my American friends that.
As history since Hiroshima shows, the best, perhaps the only, way to curb war is to deter it with such overwhelming force as to turn it from a struggle into suicide.
The greatest danger of bombs is in the explosion of stupidity that they provoke.
The Oklahoma City bombing was simple technology, horribly used. The problem is not technology. The problem is the person or persons using it.
Agriculture is now a motorized food industry, the same thing in its essence as the production of corpses in the gas chambers and the extermination camps, the same thing as blockades and the reduction of countries to famine, the same thing as the manufacture of hydrogen bombs.
You can't bomb a people just in case.
