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. i've not read that little story about aq khan. even without him pakistan would have gotten the nuke though. ISI conducted counterintelligence vs outside intelligence actors around its nuclear program, was very successful in doing so. | ||

At this point, almost any nation can get a nuclear weapon if they are set on it. You need to be somewhat industrialized and have a central government that has some stability. If North Korea can do it, almost anyone can. There's like 50 to a 100 countries that can develop nuclear weapons within 6 months. The hard thing at this point actually seems to develop a an intercontinental ballistic missile. | ||

I'll give you this: it is just as good as OSU's paper  As for U of M's endorsement, no big surprise, though I've no doubt that the law school doesn't share in the sentiment | ||

On a random note I got a Cruz voter to say some socialism is good sometimes after opening with yelling at me about working for an evil socialist. I think I'm much better on the phone than on here lol. I really hope so. Seriously though, I think it will be close. Apparently there is yuge turnout. | ||

It's a pretty stupid process. But Clinton's camp has been talking down expectations and saying "We'll end up with more delegates tonight" So it's most likely not the 9-20% gap the polls were showing. Now the media is whitening up and playing up why Bernie should win MI so it's coming down to who shows up where. I'm really hoping one of the people I called ends up in a precinct like that MA one where out of 6000+ votes it came down to 1 more Sanders supporter. Would feel especially good. My teams dumped so much into MI I just hope we didn't over do it and miss viability in MS. No idea why MSNBC has been misreporting that it was winner take all if they got 51%+ on the Dem side in MS. It wasn't in any of the rules I read. | ||

 The problem is their very unorthodox choice of election issues. Most of those questions I couldn't care less about, and they aren't pushed by the candidates, they aren't being talked about, and they most certainly don't correspond to what voters are indicating as their most important issues (foreign policy not represented, hello). So my response was basically random. If you want to try a more adequate election compass done by social scientists, try this: www.societly.com | ||
