yeah, cthulu23... i'm going to have to pile-on because that just doesn't hold up. if we're hearing about strategic missiles and nuclear developments now you have to know that those programs have been in the works for years and years. the idea that they started these programs in response to a U.S. policy in the established in the last 3-4 years is very unrealistic. it seems like some people can't wait to blame Bush for all the world's ills, plausibility be damned.
