They are not good at all for conventional warfare. The only thing they are good for, at this time, is a massive nuclear exchange. That means we have a weapon that's sole purpose is a kind of war that would be fought once and exclusively with that kind of weapon.<br /><br />That being said, as long as anyone has one or the capability to have one in a short time scale you are required to maintain at least some stockpile of those weapons. What I find tragic is that we don't have the political will to prevent the proliferation of these weapons (which I see as an inherent evil as it only pushes further proliferation). The fact that a country such as Iran is likely to obtain such a weapons should be pants soilingly frightening to anyone that cares about world stability and peace.A.
