Even one small nuke, set off in Manhattan or the Chicago Loop during the working day, could easily kill 100,000 people and cripple our economy for months. If it was set off in Washington, DC during the State of the Union address, our government would be decapitated. You know what they say: to survive in a hostile environment, you hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
[Evil grin] This ain't necessarily a bad thing, is it?
