Personally I suspect that an accelerated plan to take down ALL government supporters of terrorism, starting with Iran, would be put into action immediately. If nukes, dirty bombs, or chemical weapons start flying in US cities then there isn't much to loose by shutting down the Saudi's and Syrians much less the Hizb'Allah whacko's in the territories and Lebanon. Would we use nukes - I suspect only if the top military commanders conclude that they are the only way to achieve the mission.

The one mission I see as possibly requiring nukes would be to get the Muslim governments and thier populations to immediately halt all funding for terrorist groups. If the terrorists get strong enough it may come down to us or them and if thats the case then we don't have time for social change to convince the non-violent Muslims to change sides. So I suppose it could come down to GWB re-issuing his 'you're with us or against' us speach with the additional caveat that 'if you're not with us by noon tomorrow you will be with Allah.
