I understand your concerns, but I think that if one of our cities was nuked, the pressure for retaliation, even on flimsy evidence, would be very strong. And, if the Islamists took credit for it, they, I think we'd go to a full mobilization, DefCon4, and round up all the moslems in the country. We, and I think we'd get help from even the Europeans, would start squeezing every moselm and every source, and we'd let every moselm nation know that unless they coughed up the perps tuit suit they, too, were in line for early termination with most extreme prejudice. No one wants to do anything like that, but if the Islamists start playing with nukes, even with chemical weapons in the west, we have to. This is WAR, not a criminal investigation.

Oh, I agree completely. However, would a President Kerry (SHUDDER) view it that way? Or, would he be too apologetic and whimpy to do what would be needed?
