Which brings to mind an interesting hypothetical exercise. If Iran did manage to sneak a nuke into DC, and take out the whole town, devastating as that might be, and obviously terrible for the loss of human life and national treasures, would America be worse off 3 years later, or better off? Assume that Congress is in session, and Obama is not on vacation. I hesitate to state my opinion on that.

If I could make one request in such a scenario, it would be that Ted Cruz be called out of town on an emergency just before.

"They blew up Congress....Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

It would be awful difficult to sneak a nuke into DC, if our spooks are using backscatter scanning technology which can spot uranium or plutonium (one of which is needed to light off even a hydrogen weapon). But who knows who’s sleeping on watch?
