"No poster has explained specifically why they think the American people would rise and unite to avenge a nuked out Israel. No one has come close. Sorry to point that out."
In an earlier post I said that the psychological effects of a nuclear strike on Tel Aviv would change the world, but in a way we can't predict. As far as the American public is concerned, it could lead to a fearful withdrawal from world affairs - as you suggest - or it could stiffen our resolve and make us see things more the way Bush sees them. Or, with help from the Dems and the MSM, a blame-Bush mentality could set in, leading to all sorts of horrific concessions to the Islamic world. But I don't feel absolutely confident in any one of those scenarios.

I agree. I admit, I have more confidence that the USA would not be that animated, rather than solidifying our resolve.
