my wife was saying that some arab country claims that they will destroy the world on august 22 with nuclear bombs.
has anyone else heard about this?
I seriously doubt any Arab country has a nuclear arsenal of any size, let one of the size to destroy the whole world, not even America has a nuclear arsenal of that size and they have a huge one which could do a lot of damage if they were all fired at once.
I've heard it suggested that it's unlikely that the Iranians would manage to develop a nuclear bomb, because they're not clever enough.
The average Iranian IQ is about 90. By comparison, the average white IQ is about 100, and the average Ashkenazi Jew IQ is 113.
It's suggested that the tradition of cousin marriage in Muslim countries has not done the average Muslim IQ any favours.
I think there would still be cause for concern though. All you need are a few Iranians at the far right of the bell curve, and a few nutcases from Hezbollah to push the buttons, then you've got problems.
I should point out as a matter of pedantry that Iran is not an Arab country; it is a majority Persian country.
If I made a mistake like that I'd never hear the end of it. Hehehe.
