Speaking Of Nukes

Great Britain is building a laser to study nuclear explosions without actually making them. Sounds reasonable to me, but then that is just me
The project has inflamed anti-nuclear campaigners, who believe Orion may be used to develop next generation nuclear weapons and want the matter settled by a public inquiry.
The development of nuclear weapons is an inevitability. Seriously. Better us than them under those circumstances.

One of the biggest problems in the intelligence business is knowing what to look for. Let's say for the sake of argument that we cease weapons development altogether. Now let's say, Iran, Pakistan. North Korea continue to push it. We need to know about that don't we? let's say one of them figures out how to make an undetectable suitcase nuke. Good-bye New York, Washingtion, London, LA....

So, it's in our best interest to know what they are up to. The best way to do that is to be ahead of the curve so we know what to look for. That reason alone justifies continued research.

When will people learn. Evil does not begat evil -- people simply are evil. Sometimes you have to kill it, and sometimes, you have to kill it with a very big explosion.
