while it is true there are a bazillion people who can assemble the nuke itself there are only so many countries in this world who are capable of building a nuke or weapons grade nuclear material and even fewer who are willing to even discuss giving/selling it to a terrorist group either directly or through a middle man. russia and the dprc come to mind.

very true. instead of standing around holding ourselves and crying about how we deserve it every time some country or group attacks us we should respond with overwhelming terrifing force. example: you stab us(9-11) and take the knife and sever(sp?) both your arms so that you will never do that again.
