U.S. nuclear-weapons scientists are designing a new H-bomb
For the first time in more than 20 years, U.S. nuclear-weapons scientists are designing a new

H-bomb, the first of probably several new nuclear explosives on the drawing boards.

If they succeed, in perhaps 20 or 25 more years, the United States would have an entirely new nuclear arsenal, and a highly automated fac- tory capable of turning out more warheads as needed, as well as new kinds of warheads.

"We are on the verge of an exciting time," the nation's top nuclear weapons executive, Linton Brooks, said last week at Lawrence Livermore weapons design laboratory.

2. Does anyone else
have a major problem with the hypocrisy evident here?

We're going to bomb Iran "for nuclear ambitions" (really for having the audacity to think they can control their own oil and price it in Euros).

But turn around here, and we're going to design more nukes. And build more nukes. (And sell them to Pakistan. And to Israel. And.......)

I am totally disgusted, and have no idea how these folks can claim to represent the entire US.
