Protesters gathered outside the gates of the lab and staged a diein. But this time, the gathering was bigger, and the number of demonstrators lining up for a rest greater.

Reporter Eric Swalwell sits on the intelligence committee. Were the super power of the world. We dont reduce ourselves to talking and acting like the north koreans do. Thats how we take on a challenge like this, not with just, you know, vulgar threats. Its more than unfortunate.

A majority of americans support using a nuclear bomb to save u. S. Soldiers from dying in war. Thats according to a few study out of stanford. Researchers say Public Opinion on Nuclear Weapons hasnt significantly changed since 1945, when the u. S. Dropped bombs on japan during world war ii. Given the scenario, 60 of americans surveyed would approve of a nuclear bomb to kill 2 million iranian civilians to prevent an invasion of iran that would prevent the killing of 20,000 american soldiers.
