Nuclear Mideast update

Sometime ago, I posted about Iran's nuclear program. Some readers may remember an Israeli raid on a Syrian site in Sept.

It appears US Intel is now briefing Congress on the attack...and YES, plutonium was present.

Here's the latest from NRO online about this developing story.

I have just finished the unit, in my US History class, about Hiroshima and we talked a lot about the fears of nuclear weapons. It's still amazing to me that in the almost 63 years since Nagasaki, that a nuclear weapon has not been used in anger.

I'm not so sure that the trio of Iran, Syria, and North Korea can be trusted to keep that streak going...
