You can chalk it up to Lehrer's humor but he was always on the mark when it came to current events. He was Mr. Topical. So if that was a newsworthy item 50 years ago, you can take fairly seriously, or at least as seriously as people did then, that Egypt has more than a propaganda intent to build nukes now. Realistically speaking if we count back from 1979 when Egypt bought itself economic breathing space by abandoning such efforts and suddenly becoming a multibillion dollar a year ally of the US you're really only left with 12 oe 14 year window that they would have been attempting such a thing. So the the only limiting factor was a combination of Soviet reluctance and a lack of time. But now with their best friend Obama writing off a billion dollar debt and arranging a $4.8 billion dollar "loan" they once again have the political capital and the economic wherewithal to accomplish an atomic bomb.<br /><br />I suspect all of us wagging our fingers at Obama saying 'we told you so!' won't mean anything when the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran both have nukes aimed at Israel.
