"A more likely scenario is that they will hand off a nuclear device to Hamas or some other terrorist organization. That way they can plead innocent to the world."
I'm late to this party/post, but I agree. I can easily see that happening. And that's scarey.
Some days I'd just like to completely shut it all down. Close our borders, stop trading with everyone except Canada and Mexico (to a lesser degree; I need cocoa beans and coffee to live) and let the US Citizens "deal" with a lack of this or that and just "make do." If there's a country on the planet that can be self-sufficient in all ways, it's us! Till up your yard and plant a 'Victory Garden' for Pete's Sake...and silk stockings have been optional for about 50 years already. ;)
I think that's what it will take to wake people up to what's really going down in our world today. I don't put a helluvalota faith in my Fellow American to see things for what they really are these days.
I'm really not a Kookburger, but I'll be in my fortified and well-stocked "bunker" if anyone needs me. ;)
I agree with you -- but a Victory Garden is a little difficult here in the desert when it's 116 at 8 o'clock at night.
