Foreign Correspondence

Point the way to Thunderdome…

A global conflict will make World War II look like a cakewalk. Not to discount the sacrifices that were made during that war but things have changed a lot for the worse. I am wondering if this administration is into reality.

How many countries involved in World War II had nuclear weapons?

Yet look at the growing list of pre-emptive strikers and the roster of nuclear powers.

Australia wants to join the pre-emptive club with the United States, Russia, Israel, Iran, India, Pakistan, North Korea, South Korea and China.

In the post-Sept. 11 New World Order, the roster of nations with active or emerging nuclear weapons programs includes much more than the traditional nuclear powers of the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom and France. Some newly independent former Soviet republics (Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Georgia) retain some of the weapons systems from the old Soviet Union.

Four other countries are widely believed to have tactical nuclear weapons: Israel, India, Pakistan and South Africa. Seven countries - Argentina, Brazil, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea and Taiwan - have active nuclear development programs and may possess nuclear weapons manufacturing capabilities.
