#1 If they are not careful, Israel may personally introduce them to current fusion technology.

#2 It's mighty difficult to keep the Djinni in the bottle, as it were. (I don't think I'll see that TokaMate--"Your Personal Fusion Reactor(TM)"--in my lifetime.)

#3 The heat required to induce fusion is beyond comprehension. However, there are potential end-runs - using plasma technology - which involve generation of high temperatures for split seconds, while using alternating pressure technologies to achieve the desired effect. A breakthrough is possible. During the Los Alamos experiments on fission bombs, the detonator was based on use of an expanded model of ignition manifolds, used on vehicles.

For those who don't know, books on high energy physics, lasers, plasma appear on Iranian and Egyptian pirate sites as soon as they are published by Springer, Elvesier, Wiley, Cambridge, etc. These are being read in Teheran and Islamabad while MIT students wait for an opportunity to photocopy same.
