Not really no because he believed that when nations could completely destroy each other instantly that humanity would recoil at war and there would be world peace.

^ yea that really worked didn't it?

Often times you'll hear someone say, "Isn't that ironic?" when the fact of the matter is that it really isn't. According to a study done by the Usage Panel, 78% of the instances of the word "irony" are used improperly.

Isn't that ironic?

Isn't it ironic for some leaders/authorities(as well as scheduling in a non-medicinal category) to claim cannabis has NO medicinal value yet there are 2 FDA approved products, Sativex and Marinol, made of cannabis?!?!

Did'nt seem to help all that much. Also kind of like saying that, I will give you the tools to kill one another, to make you peaceful.
Reminds me of the StarTrek voyager episode where chakote tells the story of the scorpion who was trying to get accross the river, when a fox came along. The scorpion asked if he could ride on his back to get to the other side. The fox says , no you will sting me.The scorpion convinces the fox to agree, and half way across the scorpion stings him, and the fox says why did you do that now we'll both die, the scorpion replies, because i am a scorpion that is my nature.

Yeah but I'm saying it's not irony, since his goal was world peace.

Edit: People these days just have no f****** idea what irony is. Just evidence that public schools are both failing and a money pit.
