While some did not consider Eisenhower an entirely stupid man, his dream for the use of nuclear bombs was as a means to construct the St. Lawrence Seaway. Lets hope advisors point out some of the "small" problems associated with nuclear weapons to the current President.   

Why create a "radioactive" river of oil from the oilfields of the middle east and former Soviet states to more accessible ports for North American consumption?

Lets get our priorities straight here. Western interests are not primarily into eliminating funny foreign men from funny foreign lands, they just want to protect their investments and their own national interests and keep their hummers running.

IMO, take heart, as long as the oil is there, no western interest would seriously consider deliberately contaminating it's oil supply big time; nobody particularly wants a "glowing" Mercedes.....hope, hope.
