Time for us to present the world with a Doomsday List. We announce a list of rogue nations that we believe may capable of producing nuclear weapons (Iraq, North Korea, Syria, Lybia, etc). Any of these nations could supply a nuclear bomb to terrorists who in turn could explode it in a US city, and we would have no way to know which one was responsible. Therefore it will be US policy to launch a full scale nuclear attack on every country on that list should such an attack occur. If any country on that list wants to be removed they can do so by meeting any and all conditions that we may require to be assured that they are no longer a threat. No negotiations or discussions. Just comply or pray nobody ever uses a nuke on America.

Correction: meant to say Iran, not Iraq.

Time for us to present the world with a Doomsday List. We announce a list of rogue nations that we believe may capable of producing nuclear weapons ... we would have no way to know which one was responsible ... it will be US policy to launch a full scale nuclear attack on every country on that list should such an attack occur... If any country on that list wants to be removed they can do so by meeting any and all conditions that we may require to be assured that they are no longer a threat.

This is a great idea. It would take balls and resolve, which I have no doubt that President Bush has, but I do have fear about his successor.

I wrote the same thing on 9/12, but wanted to see a random selection from a list of 'axis' nations selected for destruction. You want to be sure that they see an advantage in not cooperating with eachother...
