I think you are correct about citizens wanting blood but, I believe that we will be able to do as well with a conventional response. The nuke response would in my opinion be used only for 'The Big One'. The U.S. would take way to much shiite for a nuke response to be worth the effort. I do not believe a nuke here is a significant threat at the moment. We get a heads up I think in the form of a nuke in Israel before we see one here. In that case Israel goes down swinging so we would get to pick our target list from their leftovers.

Our response will not cause or prevent the guy at the 7-11's suffering. More likely his leaders here will control how he is treated. The U.S. muslim leadership will have only a short period of time to respond correctly or suffer the consequences. A number of muslims dancing in the streets after a nuke attack (or any attack for that matter) will seal their fates IMHO.

I would say that your right in our response, but that their bringing us down would come first. Their haughty assumption would be that once we're out of the picture, Israel will be easy pickings. Instead, what they will get is the Sampson option.
