If some terrorist pops a Nuke in the US.. just one; I'd bet that washington's 'short list' of 'terror supporting' nations will be vaporized almost immediately.

No joke. If we get nailed, we'll react overwhelmingly and with out even a little bit of compassion for 'innocents'. There will be no 'discussion', no consulting other powers. Just big bright flashes over Terhan, Damascus, Ridyah etc.

There will be no mercy.. just remorse.

nations and people are hardly an equal comparison.

Now that is funny... governments snap all the time... many more people have been killed by governments than have ever been killed by other citizens... governments kill their own people all the time. I trust my neighbors with a gun a lot more than I do my government.

Iran pretty much invented farming out terrorism to 3rd parties to avoid the blame. Saudi Arabia has been financing mosques around the world that preach hate/terrorism and breed terrorist. Syria has and is currently supporting several terrorist outfits including ones operating in Iraq. If one of the groups they support goes rouge and nukes a US city, you can bet the American public will not be looking to try and convict a handful of terrorist. The countries that created them and supported them either directly or indirectly will be as responsible as the "cell" that did the job.

exactly. there won't be any *****footing around. if somebody pops a nuke here, the world will be a very, very different place in very short order.

Really? Governments snap all the time? I think your mistaking "snapping" with "cold and calculated crimes". Of course there are cold and intelligent criminals too, with guns.

I think that depends on who is in charge

I think they are waiting until we place a hand wringing lefty, a clinton clone, in the White House again before they try something that large as they think we will not react as severe as if they did it now

possible.. but I suspect that as soon as 'they' get a device and a delivery method they will strike.

one thing seems to keep recurring.. it would seem they underestimate our resolve and resources.

oddly enuff, we've been making the very same mistake.

Last night on the evening news I heard a Whit House spokesperson say "we" would give them (Iranians) a chance to comply with the latest UN requests (demands?) Sounds like a thinly-veiled threat/promise to me. I expect to hear soon on the news about Israel putting the plant out of commission.

Xargos · « **Reply #26 on:** August 11, 2005, 11:00:11 AM »

I say give Israel free rein over Iraq airspace.

Skydancer · « **Reply #27 on:** August 11, 2005, 11:24:22 AM »

So now we are glibly talking about actualy using nuclear weapons! and Allowing Israel to strike out at a fundamentalist Moslem state!

That'll make the world a better place!

hmmmm ,,

Can someone explain why it's better to wait for this to happen?

It would of course be better if a agreement can be reached. But what else do we have left to compromise, we arleady promised they can keep their reactors for peaceful purposes. This is a better deal than what we are offering to NK.. All we have left to negotiate with is to say it's ok to go ahead and build your bomb..

For those who think it will only be just one bomb think again... Every attack that has been made to date has used multiple bombs against multiple targets. They would be very stupid only to use one bomb... It would be like shooting a bear with a 22 when your only 10 feet away...

Do we know it will happen?
