[quote=patb][quote=XBoxBoy]Okay, if we’re going to talk conspiracy theories, here’s my version:

The Japanese were Yakuzi who were brokering a deal between Iran and France. The deal was for Iran to buy a nuke from France for 100 billion dollars. The Iranians, being the clever sort decided rather than pay with actual dollars, they would just print 134 billion in counterfeit bonds. (100B for the French, 34 billion commission to the Yakuzi) The Yakuzi were on their way to deposit the bonds in a Swiss bank for the French. BUT! The CIA got wind of the deal and tipped Italy, thus stopping the sale of a nuke to Iran.

dude

You can buy a nuke for $100 million.

They just aren’t that expensive.

pakistan builds and sells them, Israel builds them, China builds them.

Look a Nuclear reactor is 2-5 Billion. If you have 10 Racs, you have the
capacity to build nuclear bombs.

Say a good physics technician is $100K/year in the thrid world,
You are talking of 200,000 Man years of labor in money, if you assume some amount for equipment and overhead.

For this kind of money, you get more then a nuke.

Even North Korea thinks it can build them and sell them…
