Nor do I. I don't believe we would sit back and do nothing, not as long as George Bush is in the White House. I did not mean to imply that we would sit on our hands. But we are not going to nuke the Middle East because there is too much pressure from socialist elements throughout the world. A Freeper noted in this thread that it would take hundreds of thousands of deaths before a counter-attack of this magnitude would take place or be justified. Just think, if we nuked several targets throughout the Middle East, the French and other like-minded countries might make it their duty to respond with an attack on the United States, all in defense of their Muslim friends. They might also see this as their window of opportunity to rise and be the most influential power in the world. I have little doubt that Socialism throughout the world wants the United States to go away, and they might take that opportunity while our attention is turned on other matters.
A 9/11 style attack would probably result in more military personnel be dispached to Afghanistan and Pakistan to look for the remainder of the AQ leaders. Military operations would take place in countries where terrorst activites are supported. Our scope would be widened to include countries like Syria, Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
My question for those who believe we WILL send the nukes after another 9/11 is this -- What are we going to do about the AQ and other Muslim terrorists living on our own soil? Muslims in England? France? East Asia? If nukes were to hit the middle east, it is possible and maybe even probable that terrorist attacks would be initiated from those working inside our borders and other places around the world.
Islam is a virus, and it is spreading.
