I’ve been thinking about Ahmadinejad’s confident claims that he can take out the US and Israel – and achieve dominance for Islam.
How could he possibly do that without the help of thermonuclear bombs in the multi-megaton range? We also call them hydrogen bombs, or H-bombs, and they are beyond his capability to make. And, I can’t believe that Russia would let him have any.
However, I was given the idea of a decapitation strike by WorldNet Daily. They talked about using Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). This EMP strike would only require a few medium-yield nuclear warheads and only a few medium range missiles – and every unshielded electronic element/device/thingy in the Western world would be toast.

Such as the five percent rule for drug smuggling. The rule is that you only catch five percent of all the drugs smuggled across your border. Sometimes you get more. Sometimes you get less, but generally you only get five percent.
In other countries, like Russia, it’s actually worse.
What prompted this Little stream of consciousness is a bit of BBC reporting on the IAEA’s (International Atomic Energy Agency) attempts to secure radioactive materials and suppress the smuggling of those materials.

There are a lot of reasons why I don’t like the UN. It’s mind-numbingly corrupt. It’s appetite for hypocrisy is gluttonous. It’s horribly inefficient, in the extreme.
And, it’s outrageously stupid.
Stupidity is a hot button for me, so I can’t pass up examples of it.
Here’s one. Today, the Associated Press reports:
In Vienna on Thursday, delegates to a 35-nation meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency approved the suspension of 22 nuclear technical aid projects to Iran as part of UN sanctions.
Wow.
After years of Iranian intransigence, the IAEA (the UN’s nuclear regulatory agency) FINALLY suspends nuclear technical AID PROJECTS?!?!?!
