yeah.... I could, but it would somehow be Bush's fault and the new Republican congress would get blamed.... and of course it would be our fault that the core temperature of the nuke blast cause more global warming. The very first piece of legislation after a nuke strike from our democrats would be to ban the internal combustion engine, set up a fund for union members affected by the ash so they can run triathlons or move to Florida, raise taxes to pay for extending jobless benefits, cut defense spending and offer an apology to the country or religion (amish) that launched the missile.
Good assessement for a working country, but at that point, the overwhelming majority of the population effectively would have been thrown back to the bronze age.
