"Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction." -George W. Bush, 10/3/03
I guess someone forgot to tell the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Israel, India, Pakistan*, and...oh yeah, the United States!
* Just to be fair, I should note that Pakistan is not a "free nation" today (there was a military coup in 1999), but it was when they developed their nuclear weapons.
But with a current arsenal of 19 million who needs anymore?
