Hi quehubo; Re: "Anyway my point is that you are worrying about terrorists obtaining nukes when they already have the capability of inflicting very serious damage to the world economy."

Another thing that Bush just taught the Middle East (besides the fact that the US is worthless at occupying countries with hostile civilians or guerillas) is that it is very easy to sabotage oil production. It would require extraordinarily stupid terrorists to have failed to figure this out. And those same terrorists are getting trained at the Bush Terrorist Training School in Baghdad, Iraq.

Yes, this is another blowback from the fiasco in Iraq, but I don't think that it's nearly as important as the problem of getting nuked.

Maybe I'm wrong. I lived through an oil shortage, but I've never been nuked. Maybe being nuked is a "cakewalk", just like Iraq was gonna be, LOL. But until I've been nuked and find out that it's a "walk in the park", I guess I'll worry about that MORE than I worry about another oil shortage.

Bush's policy is a fiasco for multiple reasons, glad that you could bring another one up.
