Polonium-210 Available Through Mail Order

Knutsi writes "InformationWeek is reporting that Polonium 210, the radioactive material used to poison former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko is not as hard to get your hands on as some have previously stated. American family business United Nuclear is actually selling the stuff, and other equally exotic materials, on their company website. Could come in handy for the xmas shopping season."

    Apparently you're not quite familiar with how time operates. See, things can be true in 1998 but not in 2003. So, for example, Saddam might have had WMDs in 1998 and not in 2002. And then the quotes you've got here from the 1990's aren't really helpful---though they do make your post seem to have some gravitas because it is just so full of words.

    Moreover, you're also not so clear on how context works. For example, people can say "Saddam Hussein shouldn't be allowed to further develop the weapons we gave him when the Reagan administration supported him" and still not mean that we should wage an immoral war on the thinnest of pretexts. Perhaps one might say that exact sentence and be arguing for sustained international diplomatic and police efforts.

    But other than that, you're right; some Democrats supported this immoral war. They, like the Republicans they supported, are all war criminals; I'm happy to start a bipartisan effort to send them all to the Hague for trial.
