Then can someone tell me why actually nuking them would not work?

Our response in Europe during the Cold War was to answer in kind with what we had available.
Same should apply here....you send a bug to do your terror, or a chem, we nuke you right to bedrock.
I believe (and of course I could be mistaken!) that the author's point is not to try to intimidate the (insane) terrorists, but to highly motivate the (presumably somewhat sane) remaining muslims world-wide to deal with these yahoos themselves, and quickly.
I personally think it's a great idea.
But why stop with the Holy Cities?
How about adding Tehran, Damascus, and Riyahd to the "Endangered Cities List?"
And also how about meaning what we say for once?
I like Sean Hannity, his "islam has been hijacked" crap makes me sick. It seems his chat forum has been hijacked. Have an opinion against islam, ya get banned. If he doesn't realize what has happened too his chat forum, he better learn. I no longer listen too Sean Hannity, but I don't hate him.
Don't mistake Sean Hannity for a thinker - he's an entertainer, for pete's sake!
Sure, we agree with a lot of what he says, but that's his secret: he simply figures out what people will agree with, then he spouts it!
After he listens to what Rush has to say, of course...
You know what: we've used nukes on civilian targets before, and you know what it got us?
Respect.
The immediate end to a war.
I've been to Hiroshima, and it's a fine modern city.
How about refitting several air tankers and have them ready to rain liquid hog manure over Mecca and Medina.
Like I said on a (much) earlier post. There are 300 million of us, they are outnumbered.
Yes I know there are 1.2 billion muslims, just think about it.
I don't find him to be soft on terrorists, but he's careful as to what he says about Islam as a whole
Now THAT would work.
Hannity = Light weight. Listen to Rush, Levin and Hewitt. Hannity = Waste of time. Hannity = Conservative embarassment. Sorry if I am not being clear.
Has anyone read this book? As I recall it is a slap againt neo cons written by a Clinton democrat.
The real war is not with the terrorists, but with the liberal cabal that is holding us back. This war could ended years ago if the Treason party was first told to go F- itself.
Read Ann Coulters new column, she talks all about this......

I believe this is exactly what the terrorists and their Wahabi friends want - to end the world as we know it. Holding the Arab world responsible for terrorist activities is fine by me. A show of force nuclear strike on the nuclear sites in Iran wouldn't bother me one bit.
The War Against Global Jihadism The original title was "The Nature Of Our Enemy," IIRC.
Think Kim Jong Il's bad? -- just you wait
Population shift likely to boost GOP
From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
HARK! I hear my bed calling, and I MUST answer it's Sirens song.
It's humane to give warning - but we have to be prepared for China or Russia to counter threat -- If we're going to do MAD - we need our ducks in a row... friends and foes.
Thanks for the ping!
We could start by not letting the Islamic bastards live right under our noses. But no, Muslims are being sworn into the congress using the koran. The writing is on the wall and our failure to read it will spell the west's demise.
The true enemy is Islam. always has been.
