So, it was all the silence before the storm. Forget disarmament, perhaps, the cry of the skulls buried in Hiroshima and Nagasaki have lost their echoes and now to bury more they are unleashing a ‘new nuclear bomb’. The U.S. has certainly triggered a new era of arms race.
In the name of competition, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the San Francisco Bay area and the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico are about to design the nation’s first new nuclear bomb in two decades.
The Congress approved the program in 2005 and the winner will be chosen later this year according the design presented. The new ‘reliable replacement warhead’ will equip same explosive power as existing warheads and aims at replacing the U.S. aging arsenal.

I wonder if the “Bush Shoe-Thrower” will need a payday loan to get new shoes. Did you see how well President Bush was received during his last surprise visit to Iraq? The mad shoe-thrower who was none too pleased with the lame president’s treatment of his country made an unexpected protest by throwing his shoes at W. The man has been identified as Muntadhar al-Zeidi, an Iraqi journalist. In Muslim culture, showing the sole of your shoe is a symbol of extreme disrespect, but throwing your shoes goes deeper than an insult. Beleaguered Iraqi citizens took off their shoes and threw them at the toppling statue of Saddam Hussein during liberation – that will tell you more about what an insult it is. Bush laughed this off and referred to it as a ”sign of a free society,” much like payday loans are. If convicted, he is looking at a minimum of two years in prison for insulting a visiting head of state. Protesters burned American flags and threw shoes at a tank in Najaf, apparently because they feel al-Zeidi should be praised for his “courageous” action. Al-Zeidi and his infamous footwear are still in custody. I doubt there’s any way of getting his shoes back. Click to read more on Payday Loans.
