I don't know what the number of dead-Americans has to be, before we reach the threshold that makes our Government act responsibly.
Yeah, this scares me, too. I'm afraid the magic number is way, way higher than you or I could guess. Even with the scuttlebut coming from the Intel sources about the likelihood of nuke(s) already smuggled in the country, I'm still not certain we'd push the red button even if one or two of our big cities was leveled. Might hurt someone's feelings if we retaliated in kind.

shezza, have no fear on that account! If nukes are employed on our soil by a foreign source, Baghdad, Damascus, Tehran, Beruit, Riyhad(sp?), and some others will be smoking-holes, and the OIL will still be available, at a lower price!

The difficulty that we have is, that since about 1962, nuclear weapons, on our side, have been demonized by our leftist press and politicians, as being too horrible to even contemplate! The Soviet Union had no such illusions!

The Soviets understood that a nuke was just a bigger bang! It's just a bigger explosion, that kills more people, and breaks more things! A handy tool if you're in a WAR!

There are two generations of pussy-whipped people out there in this Country, that will piss-their-pants at the notion of our Government using Nuclear Weapons against our Enemies, but will scream for retaliation when Detroit goes up in smoke!

There isn't a single-fighting-Soldier that won't raise his right-fist with a 'HOO-RAH', at the sight of one of our Mushroom-clouds, knowing that the enemy has been hit-hard, and the enemy is now, less able to kill him!

And for the liars that want to post about 'Radioactivity-being-death', tell it to the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who re-built their cities!

A nuke is just a bigger, more effective blast, designed to kill the enemy, and break his stuff!

We're in a war, goddammit! Liberals piss me off!....FRegards
