"Who do you nuke in response? The liberals in congress would insist on not harming innocents because of a small minority of religious whackos"
1st.. I'm sure we would know who did it. 2nd.. at that point, liberals and whackos would be moot.
"Who do you nuke in response? The liberals in congress[.]"
That's our point of disagreement. They would come out in full force and change many minds on the matter. They wouldn't be moot. Quickly.
Hope I'm wrong.
