My argument is timely because nuclear terrorism is a very modern threat. Nuclear weapons only recently became semi-accessible to terrorists because the U.S.S.R. just recently collapsed. The United States has also become the target of many terrorist attacks recently. Terrorist will always be looking for the next biggest thing to attack the U.S. with, and a nuclear weapon is their ultimate goal because of its extremely destructive potential. These terrorists don’t just go away, they are definitely still trying to attack us and looking for the best way to do it. It is a sure thing that we are going to be attacked again in our lifetime, and we have to get our government to do its best to protect us from nukes over any other problem we could face. It doesn’t matter if we all have free healthcare if one of our major cities gets nuked. People should stop trying to get the government to cut our military budget, if anything we should be increasing it. Our safety should be our number one priority and just because we don’t see the terrorists and they haven’t attacked recently doesn’t mean we should let them lull us to sleep.  I think I might have to change what I am writing about because I am not really sure what I am arguing. I think it should be that nuclear weapons should be dismantled and made useless so that they don’t fall into the wrong hands.
