Thirteen of the nation's most prominent physicists have written a letter to President Bush, calling U.S. plans to reportedly use nuclear weapons against Iran "gravely irresponsible" and warning that such action would have "disastrous consequences for the security of the United States and the world."
The letter, which is available at points out that "nuclear weapons are unique among weapons of mass destruction," and that nuclear weapons in today's arsenals have a total power of more than200,000 times the explosive energy of the bomb that leveled Hiroshima, which caused the deaths of more than 100,000 people.

I deeply symphatize with the call of the scientists to eventually stop the US military in further using nuclear weapons in their planned attack to the so called iranian "terrorists"... I strongly agree w/ what our chairman has actually been believing in... such 'terrorism' is just fallacy...terrors were just created by those imperialists who have vested interest to unite the world in a way they have always wanted...The use of such kind of warfare, in any means would just bring great devastation to the entire planet. Comparing to the hiroshima attack, wherein there were thousands of deaths that actually brought unimaginable grief to the history of mankind, the use of such weapon, if were to be pursued, will cause a hundred-thousandths times than that of the initial agony that has been felt not only by the common people but as well as to the scientists ,who themselves, were the creators of this proven useful technological device yet disastrous if "gravely irrosponsibly" used....NO TO IMPERIALISM! Support the scientists of the World!!
