The FSB Reminds us all

Take note those of you who say that "Saddam wasnt a threat to us"; The Russian FSB and its haphazard use of a few milligrams of highly radioactive Polonuim has managed to kill at least one of their targets, put the lives of thousands of others at risk and effectively destroyed a British Airline. Imagine what the impact would have been if the attack had not been aimed at a few ex-patriot Russian "troublemakers" but all the tourists visting the Tower of London, or any of the shopping malls or large restaurants in the greater London area itself. Impossible you say? Tell me how.

Bear in mind that during this entire attack, not one process used for the detection of radioactive materials, Customs, British security forces or the local police had any idea that their deployment against English citizens was underway until the attack was long over, and it was only the detection of the radioactive materials in the victims urine that showed what was involved.

In the atomic age, all that is really needed to be a threat to your nieghbors and to the world is the desire to kill. The Russian FSB has just demonstrated the large scale threat to human health that can occur with just a small amount of radioactive material in the hands of someone with the desire to use it. I remind the reader that in the world of espionage, the FSB is considered to be somewhat ethical, unlike many of the security services of the middle east and North Korea.

Anyone who says Saddam wasnt a threat need only call the governments of Kuwait, Jordan, Syria and yes, even Iran to find remnants of towns and cities that were destroyed by the despotic Hussein Regime. Take one part despotic hatred and combine it with one part atomic materials and combine them with world wide Airline service and you can in a few hours spread enough materials to effectively destroy the economy of any country in the world. That is a recipe for blackmail on a global scale.

Those of you who say that America and the West have no business telling Iran that it cant have Atomic Weapons need to remember that Iran is the client state behind Hezbollah. You'll remember Hezbollah, who recently sent 10,000 missiles into civilian areas of Israel and has had a hand in killing several of Lebanons elected leaders via assassination, not to mention controlling large sections of that countries infrastructure for the purposes of spreading terror throughout the middle easy. Im sure that there are those of you that say that Iran would never do such a thing as terrorize countries with blackmail and espionage, but the record says otherwise.
