I do think that it is a remote chance,but every time I do not think that way,I am reminded of a book I read about the sarin attack on the Tokyo subway in 1995 by a cult...a cult. It detailed their search for nuclear weapons initially and how easy (if you have the money) they were to get, mostly as a result of the USSR breakup. They found it easier to get the gas. This was a cult, not a terrorist org or a country.

Point is, these things are out there and insuring stability is the only way to feel, at least a bit, safe.

I am always reminded of this phrase when discussing action in the Middle East....KNOW YOUR ENEMIES
