Your discussion had long since left the original point, which had SOME 
validity, and had degraded into a conversation about the specifics of 
various military weapons and stores...

So either get it back on point, or take it off list. I could dispute 
your original point (can you say: Editor!) but don't really feel like 
it. I tend to see the world as full of greys, and this is an extremely 
grey area.

Perhaps, for my benefit and that of the list, you could explain how 
this has any relevance to the Wikimedia Foundation:

Unless the foundation is considering getting into the radioactive 
and/or nuclear weapon business? The French certainly do very well with 
it, and you could probably fund the entire Foundation with a couple of 
sales for quite some time.
