My Comment: There is no new evidence that terrorists are planning a nuclear attack .... but this does not stop this administration from promoting the threat. Should we be concerned .... yes .... there is a considerable amount of nuclear material in the world and groups like Al Qaeda have made it very clear that their objective is to obtain such material. But unfortunately, this week's summit has failed to reign in those countries that may provide the mateirals to these groups.

Iran, North Korea .... even Pakistan .... these countries have made it very clear that their nuclear program are their own business, and countries like the U.S. and others should mind their own affairs. The consequences from adopting such a position are obvious, as long as they are free to pursue their programs, the threat will always be there.
