>From what I know Russia (USSR, etc.) either has a terrible method of tracking nuclear material or they give or sell it to other countries. I am not talking about small amounts either.

>The U.S. Inspectors who went to Russia could not account for nuclear material that was inventoried in Russia. Now what do you do?

You make sure that people like Saddam Hussein can't get a hold of them. Of course, the best way to do that is remove him from power.

>By the way do you think that Russia no longer has ICBM’s pointed at us from ground sites? That is something I do not know, however, in 1999 we sent over about 135 Main Frame programmers to help with the Y2K problem. It seems that the USSR used main frame computers ”copied” from U.S. sources from 1960's designs, and only used 2 digits for the year. There was concern that the ICBM’s might launch at Y2K.

Pointed at us or not, I don't worry about them launching at us.

>I still think a nuclear missile launched from a satellite would be a good way to deploy a nuclear warhead or multiple warhead device. Or just rent a 1 1/2 ton van and park it in the middle of a city with a nuclear device. The possibilities are almost endless.

Yes, if Al Qaeda or another terrorist organization get a hold of a nuclear device, it's a very scary scenario.
