Actually, I'm afraid we'll just find someone, whether they are responsible or not.

Not quite the same thing, is it.

And Yeager, you're crying out for some serious reflection on this.

If YOU were President when it happened and your intel agencies and "nuclear forensic" detectives told you they just had no proof on who had done it....

...who would you nuke?

You'd be taking a shot in the dark and killing MILLIONS of people without any proof.

You can live with that?

I am pretty sure if one of our cities get nuked, the left will blame Bush, and that will be the same people opposing everything about the Patriot Act, the phone surveillance, Gitmo, etc.   Kind of a no-win when someone serves an agenda of hate instead of accepting the reality that there are people who want to destroy our country and kill us all, and are actively working to do just that.

It will certainly revise the political debate in this country.

Bet we won't be worrying near as much about whether or not "In God We Trust" is on the coinage.

Been following this thread a bit and you have a good point. It's interesting to think about the scope of this problem.

I'd been thinking along the lines of an announced doctrine which would target any/every nuclear capable, terrorist supporting nation with a nuclear response should we get hit.

It's a "tough love" kind of thing.

of course, this doctrine could also be used against us.

 I could be mistaken but, I seem to remember this sort of ultimatum/threat issued before. I just can't remember when but it was along those lines that if we are attacked with nuclear/chemical or biological weapons the govt. of the United States would see it as an attack by all hostile nations who support or aid terrorists or terrorist states & the U.S. would retaliate with all means at our disposal up to & including nuclear weapons.

 I just wish I could remember when & where I heard this. Seems like the president said it & it was around 9-11 but I'm just not sure.

If a WMD is used against a dense population center of the US then I am of the opinion that the survival of the nation is jeapordy.  As president I would use military force to rearrange the global geography in such a manner that eliminates forever the threat of militant Islam to our people.   That part of Islam that is peaceful, has babes and likes rock music shall be preserved.

So as long as we can't tell it's an Israeli nuke....

Oh, and Yeager.... as for your "nuke 'em all" idea, I can't think of a better, faster way to turn even our truest allies into enemies.

For some reason people think you can hose off a couple dozen multi-megaton weapons and not have a serious ecological consequence of radiation drift to unintended areas.
