then we take it from there.
Do you realize how many 'Bin Ladens' are now out there? This is why this war on terror will go on forever, I have said it many times before and Ill say it again.

I have NOTHING against Muslims. I am merely pointing out that a nuke on American soil would have GRAVE effects in the Middle East. Their are people in our government that want to do that NOW and one attack would be all it took for it to happen. I think the line between the "good" Muslims and the "bad" muslims would disappear right then.

It's not a World War and I can see no justification for first use of nuclear weapons.

Ok whatever, it seems that all they had to say was "gee we are sorry that 3000 people were murdered" meanwhile, the people are dancing in the streets.
B.S. - They were not truly sorry for it, hell some of the 19 came through Iran and since Iran did not mark Saudi Passports, no one knew.

The 3000 were murdered by their own government, the street dancers were celebrating some other occasion, the 19 were invented by the not-so-intelligence services within the wake. Iran has nothing to do with it
Do get back on the point and less of the old lies please

I know that's how a bunch of America's country boys would feel, chanting "Nuke 'em nuke 'em"....but it just wouldn't happen that way.
You can keep believing that if you want, because it makes you feel "tough," but in reality, it's just not gonna happen.
If a country nuked the US, then sure, there would be retaliation, and I'm sure it would be staggering.
But if a terrorist does it, there is nothing you can do, expect hunt him down...instead of getting sidetracked in other foreign misadventures.

What do you think a nuclear war is? Russia invented the small suitcase nuke why you might ask? Well to sneak nuclear weapons into the US and blow them up over here, rather then sending them over on a ICBM with your return address on them. This is the whole reason we have nukes to strike back incase they are used on us. It doesnt matter how many some uses 1 or a 100. The response would be the same.
The US knows this and planned for just this type of thing.
