I want to clarify my post. I did not say the Taliban has nuclear weapons. I said it wouldn't surprise me if Russia exploited the situation and detonated a very damaging device with the convenient cover of terrorism.
The opportunity is there. It isn't very often that a state gets to cause devastation to their competitor and escape blame that could elicit retaliation.
How many of you know anything about the alleged terrorist attacks that took place in Russia in 1999? The Chechens never took credit for the bombings. There is a very interesting discussion of the 1999 bombings at http://cryptome.org/putin-bomb5.htm
Do you think that it is unlikely the Russians would pull something on the United States? Did you ever think Moslems would fly passenger jets into buildings?
In defense of this thread. It was clearly stated that the subject involved a "disaster" scenario NOT a revenge attack by crazed X-JW's.
