If I were Dick the Dasterdly Dictator, I would look at what North Korea gets away with and compare that to how Iraq etc etc etc got treated and would be busting a gut and my minions' guts to get hold of nukes too.

who, Cheney?

Surely the only safe way is to have more nukes than them?

No mate.
The cold war stand off worked due to Mutualy Assured Destruction (MAD).
Neither side wanted to be wiped out so were very careful with the chess pieces.

Consider that SOME Muslims are not affraid of death and in fact welcome it then MAD holds no sway.
If the guy with his finger on the button is a Jihadist then he will press it to speed him on his way.

We almost had a Septic rapturist with similar beliefs too. It is not just the Muslims you know.

I wouldn't be surprised if Iran performs a Nuke test in the coming days...

The difference between us and them is that we'll never use ours.

We'll just have Obama announcing to the world that he's "Deeply troubled".

I felt confident that this thread was going to be about the bloke looking into MPs expenses...... who said something like:

"...Some MPS have been exploiting the expenses system for personal gain...."

Just goes to show...........

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says he believes Iran is mastering nuclear technology and it wants the option of a nuclear weapon.

Mohammed ElBaradei told the BBC that countries with nuclear weapons were treated differently to those without.

"They want to send a message to their neighbours, to the rest of the world, don't mess with us.

"But the ultimate aim of Iran, as I understand it, is they want to be recognised as a major power in the Middle East.

In the wider world, Mr ElBaradei said the biggest threat was the prospect of a nuclear weapon falling into the hands of an extremist group.

He said the principle of nuclear deterrent would not apply to such groups.

The only safe future, he said, was widespread nuclear disarmament led by the existing nuclear powers which between them have 27,000 warheads.
