[Michael Goldsberry]

"Militarily, nuking Mecca would bring about disastrous consequences as it would increase the size of the enemy a million fold."

Have you a reference for that stat?

[Lancelot Jones]

Does anyone have any backing to the claim that Islamic terrorism will simply fold up and go home after the nuke gets dropped?

If nuking us would elicit a dramatic response, why would nuking them have the opposite effect?

Beauseant!
