Can we stop this thing? Can we prevent WWIII or Holocaust II? No, the question is- do we want to.

Would I want to prevent an attempt to exterminate all Jews and Christians? Would I like to prevent a global war which will take the lives of thousands, perhaps millions? Absolutely.
Would I want to risk my sons to take back the streets of Paris? Absolutely not.
My uncle was buried in Arlington Cemetery last January. He fought at Normandy. My father was a hospital corpsman in WWII (South Pacific) and Korea. They witnessed the horrors of war. But as horrible as it was, we will have it worse. It was a lot easier when the enemy lived in defined geographic areas, wore uniforms and flew planes with insignias identifying them. Our enemies live among us.

No, the question is- do we want to.We have to protect France's nuclear arsenal. They have an estimated 350 warheads and missiles with a range of 3600 miles. They also have plenty of short-range missiles that can be launched from mobile platforms. If these were to fall into terrorists hands, all of Europe could be held hostage.
Here's a link for info about French weapon systems
