You know, I'm beginning to think we probably need to know exactly what to expect if those lunatics do something to our NYC.

What effect would it have if they really could wipe out an American City and based on the treats, looks like NY. I can't imagine it. Dear God help us all.

Well..they MAY "do something" to one of our cities. BUT..they'd better consider what will happen to THEM in retaliation.

(Dear God, PLEASE give Dubya the courage to do what is "right" in defense of America and NUKE THE BASTARDS TO HELL AND BACK if they so much as THINK about hitting the US with WMD).

(I know..target selection and all..start with Mecca and Medina and go from there. Give the innocent people around there a days notice to vacate and then VAPORIZE THE AREA).

It might be a bit silly, but there's a song from a soundtrack to the movie "the Prince of Egypt" (coincidentally enough) called "Playing with the Big Boys Now". In it, there's a line saying "you'll know what POWER IS WHEN WE ARE DONE". Can't help but smile to myself and think of those 16,000 or so US Nuclear Warheads in the silos and subs. Those AQ boys better behave..or else they're gonna "know what power is when we are done".

Yeah,

I think some forward thinking would not hurt as long as people didn't jump off the cliff into paranoia wholesale.

I don't know what the effect would be, but I do know the only people who would send teams to help would be the Brits. The French would be dancing in the streets. Next time, let's remember who our real friends are...
