Chinu. And Happy New Year to you too.Best wishes this year.

Now you said...." Notice that Saddam and the Batthists have nothing to do with the aggressive ways of the terrorists.".....

Sadam is a sunni muslim who prayed 5 times a day like other muslims and although he did not murder world wide as bin laden does he is non the less as vicious a terrorist to his own people as bin laden and al kida. I believe terrorism does not have to be worldwide it can occur within a single country by it's own ruling party, in this case sunni muslims.

You said...." However people like Col. Gaddafi and the Saddamites want a Muslim nuclear bomb. Their appeal is that the Chritians have a nuclear bomb, the Jews have one, the Hindus have one why not a Muslim nuclear bomb. And they are appealing that this bomb is for the protection of Islam unlike the Osama brand which advocates aggressive approaches."....

Pakistan is muslim and they have the bomb. I think the big problem is that most other cultures and/or religions like life and want to live but from what we see of the muslim world they seem to want to die and go to paradise so they appear to have little respect for life ...ours or their own. Seems to me like this kind of people having the bomb is not a real good idea.

...unless you count all the aggressive terrorists they hired - think Uday's fedayeen, and who are now fighting for them in Iraq. Chance encounter, do you think? BTW, did you see the CNN report that American soldiers found an Iraqi weapons cache with a lot of Al Qaeda tapes in it? Must be coincidence...

one why not a Muslim nuclear bomb

Pakistan has one already.
