Reply #20: Who doesn't have the knowledge how to build a nuke? [View All]

That's pretty much in the public domain, don'tcha think? Sure, they may not have the money or materials to build one NOW, but who says they won't in the next 25 years? There was a time when India and Pakistan and Israel also "hadn't the knowledge or finances to create an atomic bomb from scratch." Did that stop them? Did Israel steal or buy their nukes, or did they develop them?

Rushdie and Hitch were right to look at Mos like he was crazy. Crazy and simplistic. Their point was that the Islamic terrorists are the only people in the world averring that they wish to develop a nuke to USE it. Every other country/entity that develops a nuke says that it's only for the sake of deterrence, not be assigned a target and launched ASAP. Do you not find that a significant difference?

Universal disarmament of nukes does not remove the knowledge required to build one from the world, at least as long as you can find it on the internet.
