The article seems to forget that Israel Has Nuclear warheads also and things in the Middle East is getting very Dicey!

The clock is at 11:55 pm with the strife in the Middle East I think it should be at 11:59! The closes it would have ever been since the inception of The doomsday clock!

In the last five years alone, Pakistan and India were locked in a nuclear standoff; North Korea has declared itself a new member of the club by detonating a nuclear bomb; Iran is widely believed to be on the path to a nuclear weapon; and the growing presence not only of nuclear arsenals but also nuclear-power-plant technology has made the sale and possession of nuclear materials nearly impossible to fully track and regulate. The idea that a small group could get its hands on enriched plutonium or uranium is far more realistic today than it has ever been.

    It almost makes you long for the Cold War era, when everyone knew where they stood and knew where the lines were drawn.

    Hopefully the President will have all of our nukes decommissioned as soon as possible so we won't become involved. After all, if we don't threaten them they'll like us. [;)]
