This is the horrific scenario I've been contemplating for quite some time. What if, God forbid, Al Queda were to explode a suitcase nuke in New York and/or D.C. How will President Bush respond

I bet a lot of Al Queda sympathesizers and low level people in Europe and the Middle East will disappear like some of the PLA leadership did following the Munic Olympics where the Mossad killed off those involved in the massacre. Unleashing our CIA and other counter terrorist folks to take out rather than monitor suspected Al Queda in friendly nations.

While that it would be helpful to unleash the C.I.A. on some of these sympathizers, will there not be a huge clamoring from the American public to avenge a nuke attack by responding in kind?
