By the way, I had quite a discussion in Gospel Doctrine last week on the Zionist movement. I saw the original Zionist movement in 1948 as quite improper and that the Jews had no business coming back to the Holy Land until the Messiah, Jesus, should come the second time. Stacy. At 11:06 AM 11/

You make some interesting points there. But I have another question which I think is very relevant. It seems wrong to me even in the face of oil interests to consider Saudi Arabia on our side. Why can't we stop treating them as allies, especially in light of their Islamist tendencies? Stacy.

Thanks for answering. I guess I'm worried for a couple of reasons. Even though nuclear bombs are probably hard to maintain probably undetonated, there's always a supply out there. Not only that, but many terrorists love to come to us through Canada. They take up residence here like normal o

There's a difference, Stacy, between a true thermonuclear bomb and a so-called dirty bomb. A dirty bomb uses conventional explosives to spread radioactive material around. Depending on the circumstances, this can be quite deadly, and is hard to clean up after, and its effects can be pernicious, but
