Please understand, the mechanics of building a nuclear bomb is well within the capacity of a reasonably bright high schools student, what is hard is managing to scrape up one critical mass of pure fissionable materials.

One can easily acquire tons and tons and tons of Uranium ore, with enough U235 in the mass to build many bombs, but since its mostly non fissionable U238, separating out just the U235 is a massive effort.

That's your problem, I'm Egyptian and I live next to Israel. I don't trust Israel to be the only country with nukes in the region. I much prefer a nuclear free ME, but as long as Israel insists on being the sole nuclear power, I support other nations in the region to acquire nukes too.

I would not mind Israel being forced to give up their nukes but i am very much against letting people have these kinds of weapons in an area that is overrun by terrorists.

You have to understand that these are people who don't give a fuck if every single one of their nation perishes as long as they get their reward from god.

What countries exactly are overrun by terrorists ?

Israel is already run by right wing extremists. The current Israeli foreign minister threatened in 1998 that Israel could bomb the high dam and flood Egypt.
South Lebanon is one.
If one nats tou consider the Palestininas as a coutnry, you can include the Gaza and if not for the wall, the West Bank.

Syria is a sponsor of the terrorists - include them two.

Now you have 3 or the 5 countries that border Israel, sworn to attack and destroy her. Plus actively supporting terrorists attacks on her.

Add in other Muslim/Islamic countries that have leadership/spokempeopel that issue negative rhetoric agaisnt Israel.

Then you toss in for good measure other coutnries that have in the past supported the Arabs against Israel.

Long line of candidates

Maybe Common Courtesy hit the nail on the head, by saying, "Then you toss in for good measure other coutnries that have in the past supported the Arabs against Israel.

Long line of candidates."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep Common Courtesy, the odds against Israel are roughly 275 million to 4 million, those are long odds, care to bet on Israel if they are fool enough to over reach and screw the pooch? The Japs made a better historical bet in 1941, need I remind you what happened in that case. The Japanese had never lost a war in their 3000 year history, and Israel has had its head handed to it three times during the same time period. And in each case, it was a matter of over playing their hand.

LL: For the sake of my understanding, do you include Persians with Arabs?
Let me say it this way... My understanding is; most of the countries ending in 'Stan' are Persian along with Iran. Not Turkey but I know some are there..
Just trying to be sure I'm on the same page.

Check out this website. It is suppost to be the e-How website about how to do things. So on one side is this link that says it is a Zakat Calculator. This is a link where you can donate money to feed your Muslim brothers so they can train to kill the American devils. I took a look at the link and asked my self what is Zakat and how do you calculate it? So is this websit supporting terrorists in disguise or what?

Is this really all one web address?

How nutty can you get Piasabird, linking some website that will not even come up with the notion that all Muslims are fanatical nuts.
People are people the world around and extremist Muslims have a similar field day linking all of our nuts as typical of us.
