Hypothetical scenario; Terrorists use nukes in the U.S.
2) The U.S. would have no choice but to unilaterally declare that only France, Britain, Russia, China and the U.S. could possess nuclear arsenals. We would declare any other States with nuclear weapons capablilities to be rogue states.

making mecca glow in the dark won't help our cause too much (bunch more people who before didn't hate us would ), but it would certainly send a strong, clear message: don't fvck with us.
if that nuke did go off, anywhere in the states... i'd be in favor of holding off a bit, until we knew to a good degree who did it, and where it came from: so if the terrorist cell was from the philippines and not syria, we wouldn't be hitting the wrong people. after finding out who did it, quietly inform the government where they are (if they are on our side--like the government of the philippines, pakistan, or indonesia, for example) and demand that they be eliminated/handed over to us authorities, on pain of retaliation.
if they didn't comply, drop a few on suspected terrorist locations.
if they did, try the terrorists, and imprison them. don't execute them with old sparky or the injection... just have, somehow, one of those irradiated beds show up in their cells.
if it wasn't a government we liked, well, just drop it on their suspected locations.

Revenge aside, nuking Mecca, Medina or other holy Islamic ciites is just about the worst thing the United States could do. This would play into the terrorists' hands - the emtire Muslim world would be in arms against the States, Europe would be shocked by an act of such barbarism, and US rivals may see this as the chance to paint the name of the US as black as ever. Ultimate the US could come out on top, if you don't mind a few nuclear winters, massive destruction to the US mainland, possible extinction of humanity, etc.
Should such an event happen, however, the best action the US can take is to take out the radical Islamists. The moderates are more likely to see that continuing such senseless destruction would bring the proverbal temple down on their heads, and would most likely provide support for US efforts to get rid of Al Qaeda. Furthermore, such an event also serves as a further deterant against the use of nuclear weapons (remember the victims of New York/Washington), and provides a cassus bellum against "rouge" states.
I agree. I can't believe so many people actually think that threatening to bomb Mecca is a good idea. Just the threat alone will likely spark much hate, violence and death on both sides.
