Keeping people always wondering just how much you are capabale of is a good thing in this situation. It seems however that the Islamatics believe that we are not capable of doing what is necessary to stop their march to domination.

being nuked and having your own nukes of your own is a line in the sand no one has crossed yet.

it is going to be a tough decision for whomever is in the White House. At least I hope it is. because it obviously ISN'T a hard decisions for UBL and his ilk to make....

Exactly. I'm not advocating we kill them all. I'm not sure nuking Mecca would be the right decision in case of nuclear attack on American soil (depends on the circumstances I suppose). What is a good situation is they are convinced that we will.

This is the theory of deterrent. It worked against the Russians because they wanted to live as much as we did. These nutjobs don't care. So, deterrent against islamists does not come from threat of death. So, we have to threaten something else they can't stand to lose. Perhaps Mecca is one of those things.

I don't want to nuke Mecca. Period. I want to them to believe we will. And hopefully, by doing so, we will never actually have to do it.
