They probably have some kind of strategy for countering a missile attack.

I am pretty sure the Masada option is off the table.

I think the new notion is, if we go, everybody goes.

Sounds like a reasonable strategy. Worked with the Soviet Union.

Not certain if it will work with terrorists. Then again, they have families, friends, fellow Muslims, that would die if a city were nuked.

Have a theory about terrorist: if their family, friends, their country etc. were threatened with an attack on a large scale, they probably wouldn't do it. They are not fools. And I am not referring to the individuals who are willing to blow themselves up. I am referring to the leadership.
