How low would "low yeild" be? Kiloton range, or less? One thing to think about...once we deploy any kind of nuke, no matter how low yeild it is, the whole world's gonna howl like banshees for our heads.

Understand, I don't rightly CARE what the world thinks, but i know it'll happen.

20 KT. I fully understand the spasmisms such a response would send the world into. From a tactical point of view, "we win" (to quote Gen. T. Franks when asked what would happen if Iraq deployed WMDs). Geopolitically, it would certainly accelerate the simmering anti-America/UK coalition seemingly lining up. On the up side, the other Axis of Evil countries and their associates/sponsors would surely get the message. I really do not know if we would take that step. However, it is our doctrinal template.
