Show me an Iraqi artillery battery in reach of Atlanta, and I'll worry about that. Or a helicopter with that range. Until then, you need to be clear that there is a distinction between what could possibly happen and what is at all likely to happen. Kim Jong Il could give a nuke to AQ. The Paks may have already.

"Show me an Iraqi artillery battery in reach of Atlanta"

Go ahead and keep trying to minimize the threat. The IED's in Iraq use the shells. No artillery needed.
