    Seems that nuclear weapons are becoming the 'fashionable' thing to have for a country. New countries developing nuclear weapons seem to be popping up quite often recently. In your opinion, who do you think will be the next country to say the have them? Is the end of the world closer than we think?

    The two countries nearest are probably Iran and North Korea. The latter has the technology but probably cannot afford to actually build the device whereas Iran has access to a lot of former USSR technology and money to pay for it.

                  I would not be suprised if any of the following reveal they already have them in the next 5 years . Japan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Brazil, Bangladesh, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Georgia (sp), Canada, Argentina, North Korea, South Korea, Burma, Vietnam, Zimbabwe.

                              Korea will likely be the next country to produce (i.e. made at home) a nuclear bomb, IF they turn on their reactor so as to produce fissible material. I believe Japan already has produced a bomb as has Israel (though the latter is no secret, even if denied.) But to actually have them, given that quite a bit of fissible material from the former Soviet Union is unnacounted for, that's anyone's guess. But, it's not the end of the world. However crazy MADD seems, it works. And for those inclined to suicide, they fortunately don't have enough weapons to "end the world" (even symbolically). (However, it has been pointed out that rather than attacking a city, a bad guy could do a high atmosphere burst, which, due to EMT, would destroy most of the civilian satelites and cause serious damage to civilian communications and fine electronics on the ground. This would damage the world's financial structure more than vaporizing any given city in the world.)

                                Heck -- Mugabe doesn't need to develop a nuke -- seems like he's already doing pretty well at killing his constituents by starvation.. The last estimate I read from CNN was that there would be ~6 million dead within the next 10 years... just due to farm confiscation and denying food to those who didnt' vote for him. _"No one goes to hell because of their sin, but because of rejecting God's method of salvation: His Son's life for yours..."

                                          Seems that nuclear weapons are becoming the 'fashionable' thing to have for a country. New countries developing nuclear weapons seem to be popping up quite often recently. In your opinion, who do you think will be the next country to say the have them? Is the end of the world closer than we think? Jeremy Pullicino Professional C++ Developer Google Search: "really funky" (New Window) The first hit is my web page!

I wonder if the world would be actually more at peace if everyone had nukes. If the Cold war serves as an example, then the answer is Yes. Sure, there will still be tensions, but you'd think that no one would have the balls to launch the nukes for fear of getting obliterated themselves. Well, I guess the problem is that if 200 countries were to have nukes there's a good chance that at least one leader out of those countries would be crazy enough to use them for any stupid reason. I wouldn't put it past Saddam. So the question still remains, what if the US knew that Saddam already had nukes? Would the US so easily go after him for other reasons, such as regime-change? Probably not, which is why we can't allow him to get them. Regards, Alvaro
