Fight fire with fire. All is fair in love and war.
Using tactical nuclear weapons against civilian populations is worse than terrorism: it's a war crime.
Says who?
The United States was on the moral high ground as long as it sought to find and destroy the masterminds of the Sept. 11 attack. Now, with our attacks on the Afghan government and the civilian population we look like vengeful Americans striking out not against terrorism, but merely to placate the public's desire for revenge.
You say that like it's a negative thing
Every American bomb that kills or dismembers an innocent mother, father or child creates more anti-American hatred in the Muslim world.
Too Bad! They should have thought of that before!
Anyone seriously suggesting the use of nuclear weapons in Afghanistan needs pyschiatric treatment.
Psychiatry is filled with leftist like you; hence the recommendation.
You need to check the history of Rolling Thunder in Vietnam. It was B-52s that brought Hanoi to the peace table. I've seen carpet bombing practiced on the live ranges out in Nevada. It's an awesome spectacle and it definitely affects the will to continue a war.
Nukes on the other hand are a political and psychological weapon. They are effective when used like the queen in chess. It's the threat of force they pose that gives them power.

I got a chubby reading that.
