Well... yes, in fact :) and then some.

... argh, I can't take it! It's becomming more Nineteen Eighty-Four with every passing moment! It's like some sort of bizarre cliche regime created just to test the limits of ...

Bobby, why the harsh tone at the end? Wasn't meant to be, it was a serious question. Anyway, onward. First of all, when an evil act is done, the product ...

Yes but you see, why would we want the crazy evil people to have nukes? Surely we would want the 'good guys' to have all the weapons so they can ...

Yes, but then you'd have to sell up and we'd lose our independence, uniqueness and ultimately control over who and what junk was posted here... I am slightly wondering where ...

It really does depend how far countries are prepared to go. History has shown that countries can be effectively blockaded from recieving supplies - should the US, perhaps, decide that ...
