"It doesn't bare (sic) thinking about". Oh, I don't know, around here sometimes, bare thinking would be a pleasant change--rather than the usual diet of conspiracy theories of the Right and Left, and layer upon layer of overheated rhetoric.

As to who's next--that's just too obvious a setup---it's back to Tom Lehrer:


First we got the bomb, but that was good
Cause we love peace and motherhood
Then Russia got the bomb, but that's OK
Cause the balance of power's maintained that way
Who's next?

France got the bomb but don't you grieve
They're on our side--(I believe)
China got the bomb, but have no fears
They can't wipe us out for at least 5 years....
