| Not if your Pak arsenal is removed first By Pervez Hoodbhoy July/August 2005 pp. 53-54 (vol. 61, no. 04) © 2005 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Today, the United States rightly lives in fear of the Bomb it created because the decision to use it--if and when it becomes available--has already been made. But this time around, pious men with beards will decide when and where on American soil atomic weapons are to be used. Shadowy groups, propelled by fanatical hatreds, scour the globe for fissile materials. They are not in a hurry; time is on their side. They are confident they will one day breach Fortress America. And what then? The world shall plunge headlong into a bottomless abyss of reaction and counterreaction whose horror the human mind cannot comprehend. |

| #4 Mr Hoodbhoy, I can absolutely guarantee you that should your 'pious men' manage to set of a nuke in the US, that all this talk of 'reaction and counterreaction' will be rather one-sided. (john - I agree with you, and this is a major worry) |
