Hate to spoil your dream Paul, but building a nuclear device and enclosing it in a suit case is simple and inexpensive. The hard part is getting the right type of enriched uranium to do the job. That stuff is tightly controlled by those countries able to manufacture it. And that is the reason why the US does not want North Korea to have a nuclear power plant. The waste product of nuclear power can be used to make nuclear weapons.

As to your other point about the Arab people's, yes you are 100% correct. That hatred will never change until US policy in the Middle East changes. The Palistinian people deserve their own homeland and autonomy for self governemt every bit as much as Iraq. Us policy has to be seen to be working towards that goal, and until the Arabs see that, the threat of terrorism in the US homeland will continue.

If the US plays it's cards right after the liberation of Iraq they may be able to use that as a spring board towards winning Arabic approval. But that will mean there must also be a movement towards settling the question of a Palistinian homeland.

Sorry Tim, but you are dead wrong. If they fear you, they will hate you. If they hate you terrorism finds it strength.

You don't want them to hate the US, you want them to respect the US. Only with respect will come peace and freedom from the threat of terroist acts.
