Then I have thought we might have to tell the terrorists, "stop the terrorism immediately or we will drop a nuclear bomb on country X." Of course we would have to be prepared to do that if the terrorism didn't cease.

There is a better way to do this. The U.S. could simply rattle off a list of a dozen or so major cities in Islamic countries that must be evacuated within 48 hours. Imagine the bedlam that would result, even if nothing happens after the 48 hours are up.

If the attacks don't stop, pick one city out at random . . .

I believe that would work also. The point is we have to take the war to them where most of them live.

I agree with this. Give 48 hours notice, then show them who they decided to pick a fight with. It ended WWII and it can end this. I really am fed up with that fight over there. It has been going on for millennia, and shows no signs of ending. There will never be peace in the ME until someone shows them the wall.

And what if the sniper turns out to be a white, Christian fundimentalist, sociopath?
