"...there will be nuclear retaliation against any identified source...".

Some mud huts in northwest Pakistan? Some caves in southeast Afghanistan? Persians in Detriot? If anyone thinks were going to nuke Muslim countries for the sake of attacking Muslim countries, they're nuts.

We're also not going to nuke a bunch of civilians.

Persians in Detriot?

They considered that but decided no one would be able to tell the difference anyway.

there are no civilians once a nuclear war has been started by the other guys.

And you need to read your Thucydides to understand why this is the only course open to us if we wish to survive in this hypothetical situation.

If we are nuked all "modern civilized" rules are over. Done. Finished. We would be, in one bound, set back to the ethics and moral REQUIREMENTS of the year 732.

If you don't realize that than you are doomed, as well as nuts. Worse, if you argue that then you are threatening the continued existence of any human civilization, let alone "liberal democracy."

Your arguments reminds me of Kerry, Dean, Kucinich or Neville Chamberlain. "We can't even consider that! Anyone who disagrees is nut's! It just CAN'T happen. They aren't that crazy."

How many million died the last time? They didn't have a choice once they realized they were fighting monsters. And, thank God, men like Churchill and Roosevelt, didn't flinch (too much) over the question of "civilian casualties." If they did you'd be dead or speaking either Japanese or German.

Persians in Detriot?

We have very few Persians in Detroit. What we DO have are Chaldeans, Iraqis, Lebanese and Yemenis - lots of them.

I think you're wrong. Any Western leader who FAILS to retaliate is doomed politically.
