If you had 4 nukes here is what a smart terrorist would do. Put them on boats and sail three of them into ports. A port in Washington, New York and Los Angeles. The reason to be in a port is because they have no way to check your cargo until your already in port and well within range of a nuke. The forth you attempt to sneak into Chicago in between O'Hare and the loop in an attempt to shut down many major expressways and the busiest airport. Not to mention Chicago is a cross roads for most of the country. An attack like that would immediately through us into the largest depression we've ever seen. Hell ill bet democracy doesn't survive an attack like that.
However most likely a terrorist would only have one shitty bomb and they'd use it against, Tel Aviv, London, New York.
In many ways a New York attack would be worse than DC.

Bin Laden knows that the trick is to destroy our economy, bet he's irked that it didn't work last time. I doubt it would work now even with a nuke, alot of post 9/11 redundancy built into the markets, disaster recovery sites, etc. The trading houses took a big lesson from the fate of Cantor Fitzgerald.
