So Noel Kent thinks that nobody would be alive on O'ahu if a nuclear weapon explodes at Pearl Harbor?  I guess he doesn't know that thousands of people living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki survived the 1945 bombs.  I guess Kent never heard of the Ko'olau mountains, which shield the Windward side against a blast at Pearl; and he never heard of the trade winds, which stop the fallout from affecting Windward.  Kent is an arrogant UH retired professor who thinks Manoa and downtown are the only places where people live.  He needs to get out more. The fact that there would be survivors of nuclear war is an "inconvenient truth" for Kent.  He wants our leaders to be so afraid of war that they will let the bad guys take over the world while we remain passive.  Hey robbers and rapists:  go to Ken't house; he will give you whatever you want without a fight.
