if they nuked or dirty bombed Houston, there would be 2+million Houstonians with guns hunting muslims. Cops couldn't do a thing (or wouldn't).

Well, most Houstonians would probably be dead or dying. I hope our fellow Texans would be out on the warpath for us because I don't trust the government to do it. Yes, they'll bring the fight to Afghanistan and Iraq, but when it comes to US soil, we have to be sensitive and not hurt anyone's feelings.

Houston is too big and spread out, to kill more than a small number, but you can bet Texans would be out on the warpath against any Arabs.

(DIRTY BOMB) "Well, most Houstonians would probably be dead or dying."

Dirty Bombs don't affect much beyond the conventional explosive blast radius. Maybe a few blocks for a big big boom. Cleanup's a bitch, though.

Houston is too large (in sq miles) and decentralized to have any large death toll with a dirty bomb.
