Just goes further to prove that the US needs to issue a policy statement that any further terrorist attacks on American soil will result in reciprocal attacks on Medina and Mecca. This, and only this, can prevent such a calamity. No Muslim, however radical, will do anything to jeopardize these two most holy sites, as without them, Islam cannot exist. We must stop playing footsie. This is WWIII and it will go nuclear without a MAD doctrine. Unfortunately, our administration has not learned the lessons of the cold war that kept the battle in the third world and off of American and Soviet soil.

This is a must-do, if only for revenge. Revenge is sweet.

* The likeliest source of nuclear materials, or of a warhead bought whole, is the vast complex of weapons labs and storage sites that began to crumble with the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. Russia has decommissioned some 10,000 tactical nuclear weapons since then, but it has been able to document only a fraction of the inventory.
