Jesus, do you live to argue with people? Newsflash. I'm not talking about the rest of the ****ing world....... I dont give a **** about what the rest of the world does. I dont care care. I am saying that here in the United States of America, they will not be in the mood for forgiveness

So in essence you are saying Americans and our leader are lesser human beings, of weak character and underneath, scared immoral beings?

Wow, very high opinion of the US you have there.

Are you really this dense?

Are there no scenarios that you can imagine in which American strategic weapons would be employed against people other than the Russians or Chinese, rightly or wrongly?

Can you not imagine that a nuclear strike on the United States, or on most any other place in the Western world, would most likely trigger a very large reaction by all members of NATO, whether that be nuclear or not?

If the attackers were a non-state political terro grousp, were exactly would this great retaliation strike? HUH? Are you that dense tat you fail to understand that te response to a massive attack by a state actor is FUNDAMENTALLY different than how you can react to the acts of a criminal organization?

Give it a rest. What Ming said is that something like this would raise the intensity of the conflict. He is very right, and well he should be. Others said that the reaction might be severe, and that might be regretable. So, can you stop foaming at the mouth for a bit?

I have no doubt it would rase in intensity- you guys have just failed to come up wit any ideas as to how that would not lead exactly to , as Spiff has said, the outcome the terrorist want.

o I guess you agree with Sprayber's rather gloomy interpretation of the quality of Americans, and this the US owuld screw up the aftermath of such an act with uterly unthinking actions.

Wow, you have a very high opinion of Americans as well.

that threat is BS. but it's part of their tactics: to instill fear and terror in the hearts and minds of those people they hate.

as for me, i'd like to see the anihilation of the human species. we're just pathetic lifeforms.

It is obvious the reaction of the US in case of a nuking would be extremely severe, and most probably misguided given that a terrorist group is nothing like a state.

And the terrorists would have won, because their aim from the beginning was to have war declared between the US/the West and the Arab world. They have already succeeded into raising the hatred between Westerners and Muslims, and they sure want to continue.

But they also would LOSE that war at the outset, pretty badly. So it's a lose-lose situation.

That was the sort of answer I revile. As funny as a video of Holocaust victims being buried.

[Kuciwalker]

Personal opinions aside, it's a serious answer to your question.

Well I hope they search every big truck and transport ship.

And open up all those 'mysterious abandoned warehouses' we see in comic books about New York! They're the perfect cover for villains making city destroying bombs!

If a nuke goes off in an American city...

1. Impeach Bush (or should we wait for this incompetent boob to let more Americans die?)
2. Nuke Mecca, Medina, and Riyahd...
3. Support India and take over Pakistan

[Sava]

for the record... this is total BS

in the last week, our terror threat level has taught me:

1. be scared of people carrying ALMANACS!
2. be scared of AMBULANCES!
3. every middle eastern man who argues or even SPEAKS on an airplane is a terrorist!

Yeah, this is most certainly the most urgent thing to do

2. Nuke Mecca, Medina, and Riyahd...

Nuking their two most holy cities is certainly the best way to have Muslims stop hating us. You should also nuke Jerusalem, and you'd be set
You can't even argue nuking these cities would serve killing Muslims, since they are little populated. And it's unlikely to be the place of residence of terrorists

3. Support India and take over Pakistan

YAY! Why stop at a few millions dead when you can have a whooping BILLION!

Hmm ... now that I think about it, Feb. 2 is my birthday. That'll take the wind out my sails if NYC gets hit on my bday.

Still.... afterwards you can call it the Black Apple! ha ha

sorry, I don't want to get nuked again because my president is an incompetent piece of ****... put somebody in there who can do the job right... that would be priority number one. I never did understand why after 9-11, the country rallied around this drunken frat boy who TOTALLY IGNORED terrorism. Clinton used to have a weekly briefing on terrorism. He had advisors and intelligence people come up with plans to deal with the stuff. He did what he could without Congressional funding because Republicans were too busy trying to find out who sucked his penis, rather than what OBL was doing.

it's about principality... the Islamic world, whether it wants to admit it or not, has declared war on us (I say us, because it's not just America buddy)... sure... people dismiss it as "a few extremists". I'm sorry, I just don't buy it. Kids in the Muslim world wear T-Shirts of OBL. Islamists have MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of supporters. Sure, the regimes in the region (except for Iran and Saudi Arabia) may not actively support their efforts, but they allow them to exist. And America shouldn't sit back and wait to get hit again. And if an American city gets nuked??!! Well that's it. All bets are off. Any civilians not wanting to be vaporized should get the **** outta Dodge.

YAY! Why stop at a few millions dead when you can have a whooping BILLION!

maybe the world would be better off...

No ****! If they actually had the ability to do it, they would have already tried to do it with out giving out such info.
