For the third or fourth time in a row, I side with Jill Stein (95) the most. Next it's Sanders (93), Hillary (92). | ||

I am certainly not saying that they should have gone to war. But when people say "we should not have let X get a nuke" then war is what they are referring to. | ||

They got pieces from the US, from the Netherlands and figured the rest out themselves. The Dutch government wanted to apprehend the spy, Khan, that stole the technology, but the US intervened at the last moment at the very highest level, president to prime minister, and Khan was able to board a plane back to Pakistan. The rest is history. Question remains if US letting Khan escape was intentional or just incompetence. Either way, the US supported Pakistani dictators all the way through. Read up Zia-ul-Haq. He is the cause of 70% of the problems in that region. They are also the most dangerous nuclear state. Far more dangerous than N Korea. And remember, Iran doesn't even have a nuclear weapons program, as far as we know. ISI didn't run a tight ship. One sector of the ISI was killing the Pakistani prime minster, who was an ISI agent himself, because he was of the wrong wrong sector of the ISI. | ||

Think it's voters in states that have not voted yet. Or maybe that's the other one. | ||
