another attack will be horrible. But our response will be something to behold.

It will need to be more than that. I must be brutal, barbaric and total. I'm not talking JDAM's and Hell-Fires...I mean nothing smaller than a MOAB on the small targets. I'm talking about a nuking so hard that gravel from Pakistan and Iran raining down on Uzbekistan hard. It has to be so bad that the lips of next two generations of wannabe Jihadists tremble when the try to speak the word "America."

unfortunately we do not possess the technology to do such a thing without killing the entire planet. The nukes we have are quite dirty- exploding several of them at the same time would overwhelm the planet with radiation- even if no one strikes back at us.

I agree.
