Interestingly enough.... A cruise type missile fired off of a merchant ship, worked on by some of those "rogue nuclear sientists", could potentially carry some form of dirty bomb...
And detonated in the atmosphere (without hitting land) would practically cook everything below it..... I heard an interesting interview with a scientist... Considering all of the merchant ships that drop off refugees on both the Canadian and American shores.... those possibilities aren't far off of something that could potentially happen... In that scenario, it's quite possible missile defense would fail. Anyways, my only comment is : The world is nuts! Long live ColdFusion 7!
