Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Hey! Sorry for posting this new thread. I am not sure, maybe there is already a thread on the problem I’d like to discuss now. Still I want to say something else on the issue. I am sure you all know it is much told and discussed over the CTBT - the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty - and the role of America in it. The CTBT was designed to prevent testing of nuclear weapons and hence reduce the chance of an arms race. I am an American patriot and I believe that the US Senate did absolutely right in October 13, 1999, when decided not to ratify the CTBT. You may say whatever you want, I will always stand for this decision. The world is no more a safe place. There is the looming threat of China and still of Russia due to their nuclear capabilities (along with Pakistan and India). We have to protect ourselves and our Motherland. That is why it would be absolutely correct of this state not to ratify the Treaty and go on with nuclear researches so that we could get more and more powerful nuclear weapons. Still, it is not all I wanted to say. The problem is we got to think about nuclear security INSIDE the country. No secret, the nuclear facilities are guarded. Still I do not think they are guarded the way they should be. The problem is that the security of nuclear sites is run by private protection agencies where the staff recruitment leaves much to be desired. Some security guards are Islamite by religion, many others have poor physical training (that makes them an easy target for attacks of terrorists or other criminals). what is more, the guards at nuclear sites often fall asleep when at watch. It is clear that such carelessness of some responsible persons may lead to a terrible catastrophe thousand times more deadly than the 9/11. As the facts say, Islamic terrorists can easily enter the territory of the U.S. and execute dozens of local atomic explosions at nuclear sites. I think you know what it was like in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It makes me faint when I start thinking of it. By the way, once I came across a map of America at one of Arabic web-sites where all American nuclear facilities were mapped. Of course, I am no expert and cannot say whether it is true or false but the map looked quite credible. The only thing I feel certain about is that they positively harbor plans to revenge for the war in Iraq and others. And that threatens me.
So what does the CTBT have to do with US security? You also might want to tell the rest of us how this has anything at all to do with Wackenhut Security's version of guarding sites..
I believe that you might also want to actually show us the map that you say you've seen on Islamic sites..
Your first post is what they call a "vanity" post and a little more evidence and less unsubstantiated pronouncement is considered de rigeur around here..
You are an awfully nice and tactful peson, USMCVet.
By the way, thanks for your service.
Well put, Comrade.
Really? They can just whip up some nuclear devices and detonate them right on the spot, huh?
Since it's so easy, why haven't these guys done it yet? I mean, they have a map!!
Um, no, not atomic explosions. Nope.
What are you talking about?? They have a map! :-p

Well put, Comrade.
I thought I was the only one who caught that...
Whatever is eating at you ....must be suffering horribly.
Paragraphs are our friends.

I'll bet.
Hey Victoria, "24" is a fictional tv series. It makes for entertaining viewing, but it is completely unrealistic. Are we at risk of terrorist attacks in the homeland? Absolutely. Are islamofacists on the verge of walking into all our nuclear powerplants and creating massive meltdowns and atomic explosions? Not likely. Have the islamofacists infiltrated the top management of several of our defense contractors that have top secret plant clearances and are developing the latest advanced weapons systems? Doubtful.
It sounds like you need to be watching Gilmore Girls on instead of "24" for a while.
Welcome to FR!
INCOMING!
EGAD!
This is the point when you would respond to some of the posts to you.
Waiting...
