Your suggestion that we give Puerto Rico the building blocks for nuclear weapons is shear lunacy.

Hogwash. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory.
Any nuclear power plant built there would be just as safe and secure as those built on the mainland.

If anything, your proposal to "cut them loose" only guarantees creation of another Haiti or Cuba in the Carribean.

All Puerto Rico would have to do is declare its independence after any nuclear plant was built and they would have total control of it.

The rise of a Castro like dictator in Puerto Rico would put the building blocks of a nuclear arsenal in the hands of an enemy.

My proposal to cut Puerto Rico loose guarantees nothing except that the U.S. taxpayers will save a lot of money.

Look at all of the other islands in the caribbean that we don't support. Are they all like Cuba or Haiti? No, they're not.

That's just another one of your bogus false premises to cover the weakness of your argument.

You sound like Clinton giving assurances that the North Koreans would never use the by-products of nuclear power generation to make a bomb.

Anyone in the U.S. that wants to build a nuclear powerplant anywhere in this hemisphere south or north of our borders is a lunatic.
