Now now, Bill, we don't have enough "proof" to speculate about such a thing. It could have been heading to some harmless collector of weapons grade uranium in Italy, or something. Derek

Hi LindyBill; Re: "From what I can find, that is exactly one half of what you need to make an Atomic Bomb. It was obviously on its way to Saddam. This is real, real, serious, folks." If this news report is true, it is very serious. I've been asking the same questions, questions that imply that nuclear proliferation cannot be stopped, for a year now, and I still haven't received back a single reply. Let me try again, maybe this wording will wake someone up: *How many US cities would have to be destroyed before you would agree to negotiations with the terrorists who were doing it?* Like I noted before, up to now the terrorists have been very poorly armed. When Reagan gave the Afghans weapons, it was Stinger missiles, but all the terrorists seem to be able to get ahold of are knives. -- Carl P.S. If I had to make a guess as to where that uranium was going, I'd say that it was Egypt, which was recently rumored to be setting up a nuclear program. But it really doesn't matter. The fact is that nuclear weapons are old military technology, and military technologies inevitable spread world wide. There are no exceptions to this law (which is based on the basic primate principle of mimicry), nor will there ever be one. Oh, and as to the answer to my question, I don't know, but I wouldn't think it would be very many. The Japanese answer was "two".
