Actually i agree. The dangers are there. I thought we would be farther along than we are in addressing these concerns. And remember i support bush economic policy. I was willing to gamble but we are getting to that tipping point if these things arent addressed. The house republicans appear to be as dumb as house democrats used to be vis a vis deficits. Presidential leadership needed. Problem doesnt have to be resolved in a day but direction must be clear to the world so the worst case scenarios which no one wants, do not in fact happen. mike

Whoops! Short-term profits trump long-term sanity again: Ukrainian arms dealers smuggled 18 nuclear-capable cruise missiles to Iran and China in 1999-2001, Ukraine's prosecutor-general has said. The Soviet-era Kh-55 missiles - also known as X-55s - have a maximum range of 2,500km (1,550 miles). They are launched by long-range bombers. news.bbc.co.uk (This is only fair. Since Israel has nuclear bombs, deliverable by U.S.-made cruise missiles launched from German-built submarines, this just levels the "playing" field.)
