The true power of militant Islam is not what they can do to us, but rather what they can deny to us. Exactly. You'd think we'd be smart enough to come up with a "Plan B" to minimize the power that they wield.

Mecca, Madinah, Jeddha, Riyadh, Tehran, Baghdad, Tripoli, Cairo, Damascus, Khartoum and Kabul each get their own "City Buster".

So you want to help open my eyes...mmm Your comments about how President Bush wasn't really elected on another thread have opened my eyes about you. That combined with the fact that you're plugging your website.

Name 5 russian or chinese major cities. By "major" you mean with running water and electricity?
Just kidding, I get your point. We as a country are ill-prepared to deal with an attack of any magnitude. And that's an understatement. Does our government think that we are too fragile to deal with the preparation for such an attack? Must be the case otherwise we would be doing it now (and should have been years ago).

One of the lead people working on the new smallpox vaccine is from India.

For some strange reason, our government is very reluctant to prepare its citizens for such a calamity, though acknowledging that such a calamity is not only possible, it's probable. I disagree with this. I do not think it is probable a terrorist will deploy a nuclear bomb. First, the whole nation is more security conscious, so it will be harder now than on 9/10. Second, the terrorist must get a nuclear bomb. Their sources: U.S., China, India, Pakistan, Russia and its former republics, France, U.K., Israel, and maybe South Africa. All these nations have tight security on their warheads, except possibly the former republics. Russia and the U.S. are working with them to secure their supplies. If the terrorists could get the bomb, so could Iraq, and Iraq has not, yet. Third, even if they get a bomb, they must transport it to the U.S. A private airplane or ship is the best way. But this must be done with no security leaks. Not easy. Fourth, after everything, it must work. There is no guarantee it will. That is why there is nuclear testing--to ensure the mechanisms work. Added together, I would say this is in the possible category rather than probable.

>>"Shouldn't we tell the world now what we are going to do if that happens?"<<
yes, I think this is exactly correct.
Remember the scene in "Godfather" when Don Corleone tells his colleagues, "I am a superstitious man...and if anything happens to my son Michael, even if he is hit by lightning, I will blame someone in this room"?
I don't know how much influence Assad, Hussein, Abdullah, Qadaffi, and Musharref have over OBL-but I suspect it is more than we know, or can know.
I would announce that, in the event of a nuclear or subnuclear detonation within the United States, the US will retaliate with our strategic forces immediately and without further investigation against "all states which sponsor or tolerate terrorism".
But then, I am a superstitious man.

What USSR?????.. The (CIS) Russian Federation - (minus)former republics that have no defenses. Every high ranking soviet defector has warned about the same thing.. Russia is cutting its expenses and going in the back door.. I.E. letting the terrorist do the dirty work. We are not militarily vuenerable, but everything else is wide open!

"For some strange reason, our government is very reluctant to prepare its citizens for such a calamity, though acknowledging that such a calamity is not only possible, it's probable."Ruddy is right on.
As a young boy I remember "Bert the Turtle" instructing us school kids how to "Duck and Cover" in preparation for a Soviet nuclear strike. Since I lived in New York City (potentially ground zero), myself and my pals were fully aware than it was a wasted exercise but participated just the same.
Since those days, the "Nanny State" has grown into the mess we see today.
The shrinks running the public schools today are more frightened about the potential residual effects such warnings might have on the kids than the actual threat itself.
Why have we allowed America to decline so quickly?
To: Jethro Tull
"Duck and cover" is not useless. Most of the injuries would be caused by flying debries. You can always retreat from the radiation hazard. Better than standing up straight and "looking into the light"!

So bomb Moscow?
