Well if it were China or North Korea the answer would be simple. Nuke them back x100. But if they are a group of terrorists who do not represent a nation nor a legitimate religion (as they have hijacked a religion) sadly, there is not much we can do as far as using our nukes go UNLESS we were to nuke the country of origin from which the nukes came be it North Korea, Pakistan, China or Russia. Nuking Mecca would not solve the problem but may actually increase the ranks of the terrorists willing to bring more nukes into our nation. I know that sounds like a liberal theory but really I'm not one of those who thinks fighting terror creates more terror. If we are nuked and we were going to use nukes in return...then I would suggest nuking the country from which they came from. And what if they were stolen?
Perhaps we should focus more on Iran, North Korea and China when it comes to retaliating against a nuke attack. Then....what if the bomb was made right here in a bathtub in the USA...do we nuke ourselves?
Let's not forget folks....just before 911 our greatest fear was that an American Teen would build one and set it off somewhere in the USA. It was a matter of 'when' and not 'if'. So, decades from now, if the war against islamofascist terrorism is won we are still back to that "greatest fear of the 90s"...A Columbine Nuclear Teen.

You're argument is silly.

Sorry, but the ME doesn't work the way you think it does. Everyone talks. In totalitarian countries, and the ME in particular, knowing who you can trust and who you can't is the difference between life and death. In the ME, information goes from father to brothers then to sons then son's wives, then it slips to non/blood relatives from the wife to her father, to his sons, etc. It's a very sophisticated system.

At this time there's no incentive to turn in any of the Scummy Hated Islamic Terrorists Stooges.... Why should they? If they help us, they put themselves and their families at risk. When they know we'll take them out -- and not just Mecca -- they'll go after the scummy killers themselves.

And no, I'm not going to pretend that the maker of the weapon is responsible for the murder. That's so silly, it's hard to believe you bothered to write it. It's inner city stupid liberal logic. You can do better.

We know who the terrorists are, we know the countries that give them support and refuge, and we need to retaliate in kind. Mutually Assure Destruction. They nuke us, we nuke them. If they don't like that, they need to reign in their killers.

Maybe we should just select the capitals (and appropriate secondary targets) of all the nations promoting terrorism:
Islamabad, Pakistan: Mushy just said "there is no Al Qaeda in Pakistan." He's lying. Pakistan's madrissa's are the birthplace of the Taliban and the philosophical home of Al Qaeda. Strange how many of the the British terrorists had recently been to Pakistan... OBL is probably hiding here, and the Paki terrorists are attacking India, too.
Need to make certain we take out their nukes, too.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: OBL may not like Saudi royals, but who do think pays for the Wahabbi radicals and their madrissas recruiting grounds? And don't forget, 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.

Damascus, Syria - thats where a lot of our trouble in Iraq comes from.

Tehran, Iran - this would be a real pity, since there is probably more pro-American sentiment in Tehran than in San Francisco. Don't forget their nuke research sites, too.

If the Israelis simultaneously took out the PA and ran the Palis into the Sinai, and Jordan, the ME would suddenly get MUCH quieter.
