Sorry to keep bothering you about this annoying nuclear-proliferation thing, but I thought it should be pointed out that China was involved at the most fundamental levels, too.
So that gives us a nuclear smuggling ring involving Axis of Evil members North Korea, Iraq, and Iran, AofE junior auxilliary members China, Pakistan, Libya, and Syria, “moderate Muslim nations” like Dubai and Malaysia, and amoral companies from Old Europe, created and successfully executed under the “watchful eye” of international institutions like the UN and IAEA. Listen, I know this sounds crazy, but could those bumbling, tragically disaster-prone and wrong-about-everything neocons actually have been, y’know, on to something here? No, you’re right, that’s crazy talk. Back to talking about Vietnam, everyone.
