MAD is dead for the Cold War but should it be dead for the Islamofacist war? If WMD is used in America we should respond in kind at Mecca-Medina! Should we use them in Iraq, you bet. This would be a warning to North Korea, Syria, Lybia and Iran; disarm or else.
Another thought, rather than nuke N.Korea; tell China we will give nuclear missles to Japan and Taiwan, one each month until China convinces N.Korea to disarm. We want to reduce our stockpile of those Bad, Bad WMD's.

Mutual assured destruction only deters enemies that have a strong aversion to being destroyed.
