...once the N hits they are history
agreed, that will probably be the response but remember,
this enemy doesn't care if we do nuke them.
If a democrat is our commander in chief, I wouldn't take that bet.
You said -- "..once the N hits they are history"
I have no idea why you think this will happen. The U.S. will never indiscriminately destroy another nation or peoples -- just on the basis that they are Arab or Muslim or whatever. It would have to be a national declaration of war.
A terrorist group "declaring war" is like a gang in LA declaring war on the U.S. The U.S. doesn't bomb LA. They root out the gang. That's what we're doing now.
A nuclear blast wouldn't change the principle -- although it might drastically change the strategy of the war. I would hope it would change the strategy to *eliminating* Islam from the U.S. and also eliminating it from the world. I'm talking about the *religion* and not the people.
