Hm-m... How about this plan: one nuke on Bagdad, another on Basra, and the game is over. Worked for Japan like a charm...

Back then it was the Japanese Empire. Now it is the entire Islamic world. Do you think two nukes in Iraq will stop Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, etc.?

I think so. I think that as soon as the US shows it is willing to go nuclear, the game is over. We didn't destroy Japan. We just showed them we could and we would.

Having said that, I don't think a nuclear strike is a good idea because it justifies any response or any first strike anyone wants to make against us. It should remain our last option, one that I would hold in reserve against the use of WMD if we have no other options. If we can stop this by conventional means, that is clearly a better alternative.

FWIW, today is the anniverary of the nuclear strike on Hiroshima.

- Only if they can count. They know those aren't our last two.

If you ask me, we should follow are friends on the left AND SPREAD THEM AROUND EQUALLY! I wouldn't want ANY of our Arab friends to miss out on all the fun! I’m sure we can accommodate them

We've got more than 2. I see no reason not to use them on any siginificant military target.

Or would you prefer to squander the lives of our soldiers and citizens?
