Powell said Wednesday. What, this is supposed to be news? Seems most folks - most politically active nations, at least - either have nukes or are trying to get 'em. Meanwhile, I wonder how, oh, Iceland and Denmark and Sweden are doing on their mad rush to being major players in the nuclear proliferation game? Hey, while we're wondering... you're bringing up Iran trying to get one or two or a dozen nukes going, yet for some reason you are - again - ignoring the fact that the only country in the world to have actually used nukes is headed by a religious nut case of the worst order, and doesn't have one or two or a dozen nukes, but thousands of them. Why are you focusing on a country with one or two, but ignoring a country with thousands?

Nukes may be _most_ useful when attached to something akin to a missile. They remain useful, however, when delivered by foot courier to whatever locale one wishes to send a message to. > Iran has long been known to have a missile program, while denying that > it was seeking a nuclear bomb. Well, yes, missiles are, after all, useful wartime items regardless of nuclear capability. Jason, Jason, you're going to have to learn the difference between news and fearmongering. Nothing in what you quoted was news. We know anyone with a track record of hostilities - whether as aggressor or as victim - will want to arm themselves. We know they're going to have, or develop, missile capability. We know they're liable to at least try to arm themselves with viable nukes. This is all old news. The only actual news content in what you posted is that they are (supposedly, it's not been confirmed) doing this, and you're getting all worked up about it. You know, if you put a seed in the ground, feed it, water it, care for it, normal people expect it will sprout. They don't see it sprouting and run about like chickens with their heads cut off, acting like there's some big shock about the result. Yet that's exactly what you're doing. The seeds were planted long ago, in the warring actions of the relevant nations, in the march ahead of technology, both in missiles and in nuclear weaponry. Why are you so surprised that the notion of nuclear-capable missiles has sprouted? Meanwhile you are still ignoring the largest nuclear stockpile in the world, with a religious nut case of the worst order with his finger on the faith-based trigger, and instead you're all worried about absolutely predictable results on a scale a thousand times smaller.

Ah, but you forget; he's _their_ religion, which means he is, by definition, both right and justified, as well as safe and sound and perfectly rational. Unlike believers in those other gods who are, by definition, unsafe, unsound and dangerous, because they believe in silly, unfounded, superstitious nonsense without a shred of justification, and those deities they believe in and books they follow incite them to violence.

And the US is the only nation to have actually used such weapons against another. Ever. And the US already has thousands of such weapons, ready to use, right now. So yes, I agree, letting religion-befuddled people be in charge of anything more dangerous than a plastic spoon is a very, very bad thing indeed.
