I am not sure that nuking it would do it. If all of the nuclear weapons were all set off simultaneously they would do a bit of damage, but would they
totally destroy the planet as in remove it from existance? Must admit I am not sure of that, but think it isn't the case.
And assuming that those who make the case are correct and the republicans and Pres Bush are megalomaniacs trying to take over the world, why would
they destroy the very domain where they would exercise that hard won power? (yes I know the answer is that it is simply in Man's nature to do so

)
Remember the website this refers to is talking about totally obliterating the planet (like Alderon (sp) in Star Wars the original).
