How do we do this and not harm Israel? If we take out Mecca with a nuke where will the wind blow the fallout?

In addition, killing millions of innocent people brings us down to the level of the terrorists - we will become what we have beheld.

A massive conventional response may be more appropriate.

Nonsense.
This carries the," the state has no right to the death penalty or it becomes a murderer" thinking to it's logical
fallible conclusion.

A neutron bomb of modest size would dothe job with less possible collateral consequences.

"A massive conventional response may be more appropriate."

That would be worth considering.

I have no problem with that. However, the threat of using our massive nuclear arsenal could serve as a deterrant, don't you think?
