Well, one shot in the head could kill a human. For the country, it'd still live if NYC got nuked, in fact *most* people would survive with no ill effects physically. (windy day today with most of the fallout going east). However, you think the recession blip after the wtc was nice...just wait till the global depression after they nuked nyc.

I don't know about you, but I think 3,000 was more than enough. I don't want 1 more American dead.

I think that's A-OK with the sand goblins...

I remember from the cold war days that a nuke on a medium sized city would fill every hospital bed in the country with casualties. It would have the effect on our economy and way of life that WWII did on Europe. All in an instant.
