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.

Given that it is the anniversary of Hiroshima, taking out Baghdad today would send an unmistakable message to the entire world -- mess with the US and your children's graves will glow in the dark for 1,000 years!

Then you clearly do not understand our enemy. THEY WANT TO DIE IN JIHAD!
