I admit to gaps in my historical knowledge.  I vaguely remember something on 
the History Channel about the Rosenbergs.   Am I friendly.  No, I bite, except 
I don't know you well enough.

That Communist coups, stealing America?s nuclear secrets, is pretty well known. 
 Only someone from outer space wouldn?t know that.

Are you friendly?

Who are the leftists scientists who did this?  Also, if we and others developed 
the bomb on our/their own, why do you assume the Russians wouldn't eventually 
have done it too?  They got into space before we did after all.

The United States developed, built and used atomic weapons at the end of World 
War II.  For reasons no longer clear to me, Leftists in our scientific 
community decided the world would be safer if the Soviet Union also had these 
weapons and so sent them the information on how to build them.  I dont recall 
who got them next.  Presumably we told Britain how to build them.  Perhaps the 
French built theirs on their own.  I suspect the Israelis did.  I believe the 
Indians and Pakistanis did as well.
