Is the world about to get a little less safe?

Question

There a guy named Kahn over in Pakistan. This one in particular, is the father of ther nuclear bomb in Pakistan. Beloved in his own country as well as North Korea to whom he sold his technological know-how, Kahn is about to be released from a lengthy house arrest. Bush is trying to prevent that from happening. I say let him go out into the world as free as a bird, and then declare a "Kahn Season." I'd rather eliminate him from Planet Earth than Bin Laden, the Taliban or Al Queda. So I say unleash Rambo, Alexander Scott, James Bond, John Drake, John Steed, even G. Gordon Liddy, and Ollie North, if they can take time off to save the world from this real-life Lex Luthor.

Update:

Memo to cretins: How can you be so casual about this? Are you so secure in your own little cocoons? If I could delete the first two posts, i would do it in a heartbeat.

Update 2:

Memo to Gary C: I see there are more than two cretins on Y/A.

Read your answers and you will see how gullible people are. They all think that everything will be fine. Some mysterious person is going to come by and fix it all when it goes up in a big ball called a nuke cloud. Oh well, lets hold unconditional negotiations with them. They will see things our way then. People are being lulled into a sense of security that doesn't exist.

Oh, certainly, the safety of the world has been on a sharp downward curve for a few years now.  Invading other sovereign nations will have that effect.

As for Kahn, however, removing him would mean nothing.  He may be the current expert of choice in certain parts of the world, but were he not available another would be found.

Besides which, the world is not split into the good and the bad, there is no realistic quantification of human morality that is so black and white.  Perhaps to you the father of Pakistan's nuclear weaponry would be a vile villain, but to the people of Pakistan - living in fear of invasion from one source or another - such a powerful weapon could seem like a saving grace.  Just as it seemed like a wondrously powerful tool for the defense of democracy to many Americans a few decades ago.

The world is a lot less safe because of people like George Bush & our own leaders who are foolish enough to give him the time of day & obey his whims. Which country was the first to use a nuclear weapon? Who was the first to build one? Some little dude in Pakistan may or may not be a worry but since Bush has been in the White House we really have a lot to worry about. He's leaving but the problems & tragic mess he has created are not.

While we're at it, how about if we send over a few Transformers and the Power Rangers?

Face it, the world will always have at least one person in it who is trying to destroy something- it's like Whack-A-Mole: every time we knock down one of the "bad guys," another one pops right up.  Might as well just enjoy this life while we have it, in case something bad happens.

Kahn is nothing to worry about.

Round up 100 crackheads and release them over there.

They find him, they can anything they want.
