I would encourage less smugness about this issue.

I figure the puppet masters have so enabled these idiots but keeps them on SOMEWHAT of a short leash about when to use such capabilities--and that the time is not quite yet.

While I too have that fear in the back of my mind, I also exercise a bit of ostrich behavior trying not to contemplate it. All of the bluster herein about Ohio class boats, the use of thermonuclear weapons against Medina and Mecca, and other Muslim sites, is just that - bluster. My greatest fear is that, if the muslims manage to detonate a fission weapon in NYC, our government will not retaliate in kind by destroying the heart of the "Great Religion". That failure, IMHO, will lead to subsequent detonations on American soil. I don't believe the US leadership would have the courage to do what is necessary to end this thing. That is my greatest fear, not a detonation.
