I would hope that we might deal with the world in a manner that doesn’t require nuking a quarter of it, but that is too subtle and nuanced for you.
NUKE ‘EM NOW BABY!!
I hope you have nothing more powerful in your house than a rubber band. You have a very dangerous mindset.
“You have a very dangerous mindset.”
Thank you. It’s better than being nuanced and subtled to death by talk from the passive aggressive but prolix and mindlessly garrulous.
Action usually trumps pseudo and chimerical dialogue.
If there's a serious question here, it would be: in the case of a terrorist nuke attack on the US, what doctrine should replace the old Cold War nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction?
Remember, under M.A.D.'ness, the policy was: if you nuke us, we will wipe you out. Specifically, we would target anything and everything that could produce weapons of war. "Bomb them back to the stone-age," we said.
Well, guess what? Our terrorists already live in the "stone age," so to speak. They like it there. They don't care what or who we bomb. They want to die martyrs' deaths. So they say.
So what do you do? Well, there really are not a lot of options. One of them is just what President Bush is already doing in Iraq & elsewhere.
But another is to ask, is there something they really do value, which could seriously motivate them to get their lunatics under control? I'm not saying that's the right answer. But note again the French president has already put Iran on notice -- don't mess with France.
Think about that! The French are talking tougher than we are!
