Bush recently made some statement that if Iran "had knowledge" of how to make nuclear weapons it would amount to the beginning of World War III. That's a pretty bizarre statement, because ANY government on this planet which can afford to employ a physicist or two or buy a couple of reference books HAS the knowledge of how to build a nuclear weapon. Such knowledge is commonly known in the scientific community. Having knowledge of how to do it does not in any way indicate that a nation has the intention to do it...or the technical backup to do it...or feels able to allocate the huge amount of money and resources to do it, not to mention being willing to put up with the attendant risks of doing it.

As such, it appears to me that Mr Bush's statement was one of two things:

1. A very poor use of language by a very careless speaker.

2. A deliberately worded attempt to mislead an ignorant public through innuendo, conditioning them to think that Iran is most definitely building nuclear weapons in a clandestine fashion, and with the most deadly of intentions.

The truth of the matter is, in my opinion, that it is the USA...it is Mr Bush's administration which has those kind of deadly intentions, and it is waging a propaganda campaign, a war of false words, to prepare the American public for another unprovoked pre-emptive war, this time on Iran...or Syria...or both.

If so, the people planning that war have lost their minds, because the US military is already badly overextended as it is.

That's a far more serious matter than some dumb remark made by Mr Stark about George Bush. But, hey, one might as well milk the opportune "Stark remark" for all it's worth, right? It gets people's attention.
