Jihadist getting nuclear weapons and using them isn't anywhere near MAD. The 1st time they use 1 or more means the war on terror will come to a very abrupt end and they will be on the losing end.
I wish I could believe that. Frankly, the PC crowd has such a long track record of ignoring reality that its hard see them coming to their senses, even if the Jihadists used nukes on us. My money is that they would wring their hands over the destruction, BUT would keep right on jabbering about how racial profiling, military trials, and forced deportation is STILL the greater evil.
More likely, in such a scenario, the more sensible elements of society would have to declare marshal law and throw both the Jihadists and the Leftists into detention camps. When it comes down to raw survival, both groups are dangers to our society in their own way.
