“What happens if the missile is carrying a nuclear warhead? Nothing?”

It might be dangerous to blow it up over the ocean? it might go off, or at least drop radioactive material into the sea? Perhaps it would be safer to let it reach the intended destination??

A nuclear bomb going off is not the end of the world. They used to teach duck and cover because it was a sound defensive measure, because most deaths were caused by flying glass & etc. The left taught us that a nuclear bomb means the end of the world, so they joke about duck & cover. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51648

It was just a question. Someone with manners already answered it for me. Thanks anyway.

A 10kt nuclear bomb going off at 400 mi. altitude over CONUS is in fact the end of the world, or a close approximation.

Best to kill these things as they begin their ascent, if you can.

I think most of the civilian targets are liberal infested hell-holes already. Let the military intercept and stop the missiles headed for the bases and defense installations.

THANK YOU, i get so tired of that being ridiculed. Speed of a shockwave, about 5 seconds per mile. Nuke hits 8 miles away. You have 30-40 seconds. When the shockwave hits, would you rather get smashed by bricks, glass, etc,,, or laying flat in the gutter (or under your desk) as that stuff flies past you?

It was harmless to people unfortunate enough to be too close, but life and death for those just outside the worst zone.
