And I'll put you down as opposed to defending Americans with nuclear weapons.

Wrong. I'm not opposed to the use of nukes - I'm opposed to attacking innocents. If the target is military and isolated nuke away. Otherwise, there are still conventional weapons that can be used. But again, do you wish terrorists/our enemies to attack your family? Is it ok to vaporize them? Is that acceptable to you?

btw- did you vote for McGovern also?

Reagan. Twice. Bush I & II. Dole.

That sounds like McGovern libspeak to me. Do you really believe thats how nuclear deterrence works, or that the theater nuclear weapons that Reagan was able to deploy in Europe were not targeted on major population centers?

My expectation is that this nation's enemies are targeting major population centers with their weapons. That is why I do not get queasy about this country doing the same thing. That is why I support this country's policy of preemtive defense against terrorists, even if it means sometimes killing innocent civilains.

Sounds like your beliefs are something less than that.
