I won't be surprised if one of these days the Palies and the rest of the ME crazies will blow each other to smithereens.

I'm glad I saw the Holy Land a long time ago when life was a bit simpler - I never want to leave the US again.

From The Global Beat, February 2004:

PAKISTAN'S BOMB
The televised public confession by Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's atomic bomb, may signal the end to nearly a decade of Pakistan's dissemination of nuclear secrets to potential rogue states. A memorandum by David Albright of the Institute for Science and International Security notes that Pakistan was ready to sell Saddam Hussein plans for a nuclear weapon before the outbreak of Desert Storm in 1991. Pakistan allegedly also considered selling nuclear secrets to Iran, Libya and North Korea. While it is hard to imagine Khan selling secrets without the knowledge of Pakistan's pervasive intelligence apparatus, the U.S. faces a dilemma: if it comes down too forcefully on President Musharraf or Khan, Islamic extremists will be strengthened. If Musharraf is killed or overthrown, Pakistan's knowledge of how to make the bomb will be available to any group who holds a grudge against Washington.
•ISIS memorandum on Pakistan's nuclear operations
•Photocopy of an alleged intelligence document implicating Khan
•Were Malaysian factories producing "dual-use" equipment for Libya's nuclear program?

We must face the inevitable:

Eventually a nuclear weapon(s) is going to be used again. Let us only hope that it is not on our soil.

Didn't India & Pakistan officially join the nuclear club during Slick's know-nothing, do-nothing administration?

Musharaff has at best partial control of Pakistan, and they have 30 nukes laying around.

Remember also, the first bomb was called "The Islam Bomb".

Of course, the world should know, these lil ol nukes are merely to be used warming the heroine/poppy processing huts up high in the mountains.

Nothing to fear.

Walk on by.

All this makes me real glad I don't live in a big city any more. It's just a matter of time I'm afraid.
