Hi,

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I sure am scared of
nuclear anything. After learning of the “loss” of 380
tons of explosives in Iraq, the words of former
President Carter (see attached jpg) struck me with
extra impact.

Let’s see if I understand the situation correctly.
First, people who hate us have explosives that are
ideal for igniting roadside bombs and larger versions
of the same. Second, several former Soviet states
cannot account for much of their nuclear material (and
often are not even certain when it disappeared),
Pakistan admitted that they supplied nuclear materials
to a variety of interesting characters, and some other
nations have also not been particularly careful about
their nuclear goodies. Third … you can see where I’m
heading. I, for one, am not feeling safer.

Thanks.

Peace,

Thank you Pat. And to think, W has his finger on a nuclear button that he cannot even pronounce.
