For years, bragadocious FReepers have been talking about turning Afghanistan into glass, turning Iraq into glass. In today's world there is no justification. In the Vietnam era, DC didn't have the guts to fight a war. LBJ kept sucker-punching the enemy.
Let the bad guys pop off a nuke and you'll see how fast the Minutemen, Jerichos and Tridents are flying. NBC warfare is where the gloves come off.
They can dismiss chemical attacks (Gulf War), shrug off what might be a bio attack (anthrax), but there is no mistaking a nuclear detonation for anything else.
today there is justification
all that is evil eminates from Iran and Syria.
today, revolutionery guard bodies were snagged indicating the participation/ declaration of iran at war
pop those two and hizbollah dries up , and evaporates.
today they want to terrorize the world
hiroshima times three should be enough terror to shut the mideast down.
beat ahjomenobad to the punch!
