Neutron bombs are NOT fallout free. The construction of the bomb ENHANCES neutron generation, but by no means eliminates other "fall-out". Using a "neutron bomb" would still render the target area with a radiation problem, though it reduces it by a factor of (I guess) three or so. I don't know where the idea came from that a "neutron bomb" constitutes a wonderful panacea only eschewed because of "political correctness". You are under the influence of misinformation, and are continuing to spread it.
All that being said ... I DO believe there are viable scenerios in which nuclear weapons (enhanced radiation, or simple dumb "dirty" bombs) ought to be powerfully considered as a leading alternative.

It is my understanding that the neutron bomb would cause minimal damage to structures while causing a great deal of destruction to any living thing (except cockroaches) from radiation.
