Wow, this one doesn't look good, should the US go in and stop them? Wonder if we didn't if another Country would step up to the plate? Seems that much closer to some Radical setting one off. I guess since no one will stop North Korea or Iran I guess these thugs will probably pull it off.

So far, no one has presented hard evidence of a secret nuclear program in Myanmar.

Andrew Selth, another Australian academic and Myanmar expert, said the testimonies of Moe Jo and Tin Min should not be dismissed or accepted out of hand.

"Understandably, foreign officials looking at these matters are being very cautious," he said. "No one wants a repetition of the mistakes which preceded the last Iraq war, either in underestimating a country's capabilities or by giving too much credibility to a few untested intelligence sources.

Well I have to agree with that! Bush should go to jail for lying about Iraq.

Many of the technologies involved aren't exactly secrets anymore. More and more nations will begin developing nuclear capabilities, it is inevitable. That said, I wouldn't worry too much about Myanmar right now.
