Mosktopia is unfamiliar with any actual examples of planetary annihilation as a military tactic, other than in science fiction. We are also unfamiliar with any weapons capable of such astounding damage (well, I suppose just about anything could be used in a way that "as the deliberate attack on a planet... causes the majority of life forms on the planet to die." Big rocks, oxygen, tiny little rocks, anything really. But nevermind...). Still, if such weapons ever were to exist, we ought to ban them.
But that leads us to wonder: why is this Assembly confining itself merely to "planetary" annihilators. Certainly, we should also outlaw solar annihilators, galactic annihilators, local group annihilators, and universe annihilators. If annihilating a planet is bad, surely annihilating a whole universe ought to be against the law. Also, why is no one speaking out against the skin melting neon gas rays, the rocket-powered monkey super soldiers, or the sharks with fricken laser beams on their heads?! Those weapons are just as scary as planetary annihilators and thrice as real!
... Or, in the future, we might focus our legislative efforts on slightly less fantastic issues. Just a thought.
Well destroying a star system, galaxy, local cluster, and universe would have he effect of causing the death of at least half the population of a planet so...
