Not a chance. You think we have diplomatic problems NOW?

There's no way we are going to be the only country ever to use nukes in the history of man unless our territorial integrity, or the existence of a first tier ally is threatened.

With so many rogue countries either having or developing nukes, I doubt we'd set a precedent for them.

I read something on the "E" bomb suggesting we're reluctant to set the precedent of using it because ultimately, we are the most vulnerable to its destruction, since we are so dependent on technology.

I disagree. I don't think anybody will have the balls to say anything. Kim Jeng(sp?) will never be heard of again. Iran will haul all of its WMDs out into the parking lot for their removal w/o even us having to ask. Russia and China might yelp a little but not much. I am convined that civilization can only be as civilized as its LEAST civiliized link. IMHO
