That's a big concern, since a conventional bomb with some radioactive elements attached could contaminate a large part of a city and render it inhabitable.

1.? Is it ethical to rejoice at the death of a bad individual?
?
That all depends on what you mean by "ethical," "rejoice," and "bad." ??
2.? Is the conflict in the Middle East going to go global?
?
It certainly has that possibility, though it's also preventable if the USA and Russia would just stay out of it.? Neither country really has the heart to go to war over the?Middle East, but the USA is so pro-Isreali and anti-Iranian that we could get involved, especially if Iran uses nuclear weapons on Israel.
3.? Is it likely that another bad actor will use the current situation as an opportunity to make a power grab?
?
Russia, China, and North Korea, are all possibilities, depending on how desperate they get or what opportunities they see with a weakened USA making mistakes or getting overextended somewhere.

4.? What is the difference between telling a lie and not knowing the truth?
?
One is accidental, the other is deliberate.? Being wrong on something is no sin, but spreading something that is known to be untrue is.
5.? Does the height of a politician make a difference in electibility?
?
Voters have shown a historical preference for taller candidates, just as they often prefer men and more handsome and younger candidates.? Some short politicians have been very successful, though, so it depends on who they are running against.
