Are you insane? Really, are you in complete denial of reality?

You do not, EVER, treat a country that has over 3 dozen armed nuclear weapons as just some bunch of nobodies that you can just push around. The stakes are just far too high to enjoy that little luxury.

Yeah, I'm sure some people would enjoy watching Islamabad, Baghdad or Beirut getting nuked, but I doubt many would enjoy seeing the same thing happen to Tel Aviv, New York or New Delhi.

This isn't a game. And pretending that it is isn't going to do anyone any favors. No matter how thrilling it would be to dismiss the Islamic world, we just cannot afford to do it.

At least not while part of it has nuclear weapons. And if you can come up with a way of destroying those nukes without giving the other side a chance to use them, I suggest you come up with it real soon.

We might need it.

Nobody here is scared of nukes. Nobody on the planet is scared of nukes.

Besides that, nukes are vastly over-rated as military implements. They might be of some strategic political use until they actually are used at which point they become useless. All the same, if you insist on waving nukes around like a 3-year old with his grandfather's .45, the nukes will be taken away. After all, someone could get hurt.
