As I said, I have no doubt that he has them; I just don't care if he has them. He's not a threat to us unless we provoke him. An invasion is a pretty sturdy provocation.

I think it's asinine to think we can curtail any sort of technology, and that it is impossible to keep it from spreading, and that it is inevitable that he will either have or get them eventually anyway.

The point is he is not going to use them unless threatened.

I agree. He would be a bigger idiot than they are portraying him as. Brazil now wants nukes; is that because they're afraid Iraq may invade them? Or maybe they're afraid of North Korea coming there and telling them how to live?

WOW. I am glad that you are ALL KNOWING, and can see the future. Could I rent some time on your crystal ball? I have some stocks I want to pick.

As far as curtailing the spread of technology. You are right that it is impossible to keep it from spreading. However, the technology is now so dangerous to life on this planet, that we must do what we can to suppress or eliminate those people who are most dangerous in potentially using it against us.

I get it! Just like a bank robber won't use his gun unless he's threatened. Now I'm enlightened.
