    Funny how the news goes these days. We are looking and looking for evidence that Saddam Hussein is building a nuclear weapon, but can't find it. Meanwhile in the US, even the trees are radioactive near our nuclear weapons labs. Somehow, Saddam Hussein has enriched uranium from its 0.7% natural abundance of 235U to weapons-grade uranium with better than 90% 235U, and disposed of all his waste without creating any noticeable environmental radioactivity. Perhaps the US should employ Saddam Hussein to teach us how to run an environmentally friendly nuclear weapons program. Why couldn't Science, in the long run, serve As well as one's uncleared lunch-table or Mme X en Culottes de Matador?     James Merrill

      U.S. - Above ground open air tests to research the unknown. Iraqi - Secret research to recreate the known. Not exactly the same set of problems. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Yes, but I think that SH does not know how, exactly. He has to consult North Korea or Cuba about details. If they cannot help him, he can try with Libya, and finally, if it still does not work, Slobodan Milosevic(SM - SH) must be asked to solve the problem.

          Its not about wmd's. Its about oil. Oil over the next few decades as supplies start to diminish. Imagine a life without plastic ? The west wants to be a stablising influence in the region , or to put it more bluntly it wants things run its way . The democracies of the west will not tolerate this , and so it is being wrapped up as a crusade against an idiot of a leader . I happen to think that the oil supply warrents this action , many others do not.

                  If terrorists armed with box cutters could kill 3,000 in a morning, what might they do with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons?

                    Right, which is why the US has embargos against oil-producing countries like Iran and Libya. Oh wait. That hurts your arguement, doesn't it?

                                  I can only assume you are implying that Pakistan got it's nukes from the US. There was a very large article in Scientific American a few years ago about Pakistan's and India's nuclear program. No, they didn't get them from the US. But, then, America is always guilty of any conceivable accusation until proven innocent, isn't it, Kant? ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion

                                    If terrorists armed with box cutters could kill 3,000 in a morning, what might they do with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons? If they can kill 3,000 people using box cutters, why they need to get nuclear weapons that are difficult to find and carry around? Facing it has to mean facing Mr. Hussein, the only man who has actually used weapons of mass destruction in war. Saddam used chemical weapons both in the war against Iran and aginst its own people in kurdistan. But this happened 10 yrs ago. And another country used mass destruction weapons in a war. -- Looking for a new screen-saver? Try FOYD: http://digilander.iol.it/FOYD

Yes, but I think that SH does not know how, exactly. He has to consult North Korea or Cuba about details. If they cannot help him, he can try with Libya, and finally, if it still does not work, Slobodan Milosevic(SM - SH) must be asked to solve the problem.

                                      In an interview one of SH's generals stated they have everything to build a bomb with but they just haven't put it together yet! I don't know if the guy is still alive though. ed Every time I walk into a singles bar I can hear Mom's wise words: "Don't pick that up, you don't know where it's been!"

                                        Its not about wmd's. Its about oil. Oil over the next few decades as supplies start to diminish. Imagine a life without plastic ? The west wants to be a stablising influence in the region , or to put it more bluntly it wants things run its way . The democracies of the west will not tolerate this , and so it is being wrapped up as a crusade against an idiot of a leader . I happen to think that the oil supply warrents this action , many others do not.

                                          I can only assume you are implying that Pakistan got it's nukes from the US. There was a very large article in Scientific American a few years ago about Pakistan's and India's nuclear program. No, they didn't get them from the US. But, then, America is always guilty of any conceivable accusation until proven innocent, isn't it, Kant? ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion

                                          Pakistan got most of its technology from China and North Korea whilst India has strong military relationships with Israel and good technological skill of its own. I criticized US support for Pakistan in the past, but I think that they have no responsabilities for the nukes and I never see articles or other documentation proving the opposite. P.S. the fact that I agree with you about history and US foreign policy has nothing to do with christmas :) -- Looking for a new screen-saver? Try FOYD: http://digilander.iol.it/FOYD
