You know what. An all out global nuclear war would be the best damn thing that happened for the people of the future. They at least would be able start a world that would be united. Start anew. After a long period of time when mutants aren't being born and sickness from the bombs resides. A world not based on power and greed. And if it comes back to that then we are what we are forever doomed to a life that ends in death.

Why would they Nuke Bagdad? We already own it. I am talking more about Iran and Syria. The troops in Iraqi would just be the staging point to invade the other countries
American troops aren't just in Baghdad. They're all over Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and a few other countries. Nuke Syria, the fallout will go into Iraq and Afghanistan, and the troops have nothing to protect them. I should know, I'm one of them. Nuke Iran, and the fallout will still go into Afghanistan and harm the troops there. The only viable nuclear option is the use of 'mini-nukes' which are still in development, and they're only to be used for underground complexes/caves where (in theory) the collapsed rock post-detonation would contain the fallout.

What I am saying is that we launch towards the Middle East, N. Korea thinks it may be coming for them (used as an excuse) and let one of theirs go, the so on and so on. If every single Nuclear weapon in the world was detonated at the end of the Cold War, it would not end Human race. For instance China would be able to Nuke Taiwan and Take Full control without killing the entire population. It technically could be used for control. The OBL Nukes, from what I am told are capable of giving less then 1kt, which if you were 1/3 of a mile away from the blast on a calmn day, you would survive.

That is EXACTLY the attitude 90% of Americans would have if attacked with a nuke

So Americans would resort to the level of Osama bin Laden?
If Nuked? In a heartbeat.
I will go on record as predicting that within 1 hour of a terrorist attack with a nuke MOST of the middle east will glow.

Survive the blast perhaps the radiation though the nuclear winter that follows? If all the nukes went off we get nuclear winter no plants grow no world food production. The people that didnt die in the blast or of the rads would die of starvation. Russia had plans for a single bomb that would put enough radiation in the air to give every human on earth a lethal does.
Well unless you had a nice well supplied and protected bunker. Hey thats what the nuclear power goverments have. Most goverments have plans to survive a nuclear war and most of them dont include us.

You guys are hilarious with your "Mecca would glow" talk...
You can say it and pump up your redneck-selves all you want...it would never, ever happen.

BTW: Iran has agreed to give up it's quest for nuclear weapons, in exchange for techonology and what not from Europe.
So, I guess there is no need for Israel to go wild on Iran. (for nukes anyway)
