Long story but, during Gulf War 1 operation Desert Storm, the US bombed the crap out of Saddam;s WMD facilities. Follow on studies determined that it created a environmental catastrophe and actually killed a lot of people living near those facilities. There was a CIA report available on the web about it. Linked to it on Freerepublic many many years ago. So you cannot just blow the facilities up without consequences.
I’m pretty sure we’d be ok.
Just saying....
