Nuclear weapons scare the bejeesus outta me

[wolf]

I do agree that use of a nuclear weapon (by someone other than us) is a real possibility.

North Korea scares the hell out of me, as do China and Pakistan. Even Israel having the bomb makes me uneasy. What's justification to us is different

Russia in chaos is/was our greatest threat ... their record keeping wasn't all that good at the best of times (height of the Soviet system) and has pretty much gone to shit in the aftermath of fall of the Iron Curtain. There are a lot of loose nukes out there, available, one must assume, to the highest bidder.

Not sure why no one has had the balls to use one yet. Seems like a terrorist slam dunk. I don't think there's any prohibition against it in the Koran ...
