I don't think fallout is an issue. We've tested nukes many many times larger than both of their arsenals combined at the Bikini Islands, and we're all still here. What scares me is that once someone actually uses nukes it will just make it that much easier for them to be used the next time and we'll see nuclear proliferation every where. Once that genie is out of the bottle it's going to be impossible to get it back in.

I keep getting this picture in mind of Musharraf as Daffy Duck screaming, "DOWN DOWN DOWN!!! GO GO GO!!! MINE MINE MINE!!!!"
