The Boston Globe is reporting the possibility of Bin Laden having nuclear material:
The Saudi exile reportedly gave Chechen gangsters $30 million in cash and two tons of opium in exchange for about 20 warheads, the magazine said. [Referring to the Arab magazine Al-Watan.]

pandora's box was opened. the only question is which religious-ethnic group will "win". not that the people of the u.s. are religious or consider themselves such. but, the vast majority are nor Moslems. not that all Moslems are religious or support terrorism. the u.s. does not want to kill a hundred million Moslems. but, it doesn't want its citizens to die. it was quite acceptable to the u.s. to have Israelis, Macedonians, Christians in Ireland and Lebanon and Serbs killed by terrorists. but, the u.s. will not let the killing of u.s. civilians stand.

Peace requires a partner in understanding, who desires peace on reasonable terms. There have been instances in history where peace was impossible because the enemy wished it otherwise, no matter what anyone did to appease them. The obvious examples come from World War Two. Blessed are the peacemakers, yes, but peace requires one side who will let go of the desire to destroy the other.
