>Excuse the change of subject but how many nuclear bombs and enriched uranium are missing or not accounted for by the prior USSR and what remains of it today? That is scary! A friend of mine was a U.S. Inspector in Russia.

It is scary. But I am not sure if you are blaming the U.S. for this or not. That seems to be a common thread in some of the posts here :-). To the best of my knowledge, all our nukes and fissible materials are accounted for. In fact, I beleve we have given the former states of the Soviet Union some aid to help contain these materials.
