You're probably right there. I think the terrorist states of the world missed their window of opportunity. The US missile defense system, imperfect as it is, still under development, etc. is still improving in capability faster than the North Koreas and Irans of the world are developing missile and warhead technology. I think that's a race they've lost.

Now, smuggling a warhead or six into the US? I think that, while difficult, is probably far more feasible.

They had the capability to pull off 9/11.

I'm sure this is in the works, even if they get 1 city it's one city too much. They don't respect us enough yet, I don't understand why we're so restrained, we're not impressing anybody.

Theoretically, now don't take this as a "nuke the ragheads" rabble rousing question, but:

9/11 They destroyed a National Symbol (WTC) and tried to destroy the Pentagon and the White House and killed 3,000 civilians.

Theoretically:

After 9/11 we detonated a nuclear warhead on Mecca, destroyed one of THEIR symbols and killed 30-300K of THEIR civilians.

Do you think that would have sent a message and slowed down their momentum and made their people turn against terrorists or do you think we would be in worse trouble?
