There's a first (and only) time for everything, like flying loaded airliners into skyscrapers.
Personally, with nukes, I would eliminate even that first attempt.
If it must come, let it be clear:
The results to your country, and to your people, will be awesome and horrible beyond belief.
Let us then see, once we have delivered on our promise, who will be the second to attempt it.
Even the dumbest animal is never suicidal.
It requires intelligence to overcome the natural instinct for survival and commit suicide. The same intelligence allows humanity to deny the threat to its existence when the signs are all around them.
A deer would smell the danger and run.
We refuse to see, to smell, to hear.
We will not strike first. The will to survive has evaporated from the west.
We can't even admit to ourselves who is the enemy.(one of them, Islam is only one) We make up nonsense to avoid the truth. We declare a war on tactics rather than the ideology that employs those tactics.
I'm surprised we call it a war on terror when a war on massed cavalry charges would have been a surer win. Or why not a war on the throwing of hand grenades or the bolt action rifle.
Maybe because some don't want to win, but love the distant boogeyman for its own sake.
