"We're going to have something in the way of a major nuclear event in this country," said Buffett, the firm's chief operating officer. "It will happen. Whether it will happen in 10 years or 10 minutes, or 50 years ... it's virtually a certainty."

[ {Originally from Decius}. If you haven't figured this out yet, then you aren't paying attention. I'll admit I was shocked, outraged, and mad when the planes hit the WTC towers, but I wasn't surprised. U.S. foreign policy has created a lot of really pissed off people. The ability to make nukes has been around for 50 years and there is plenty of information on the subject. Even a 10kt h-bomb should be relatively easily produced by someone. Honestly, I thought it would be a nuke first, not planes.

It's going to be very messy around here unless we start addressing core issues/causes and stop playing footsie with the symptoms. --Rek ]
