Would these terrorists be so cocky with their boasts if they knew that as the first bomb goes off here, there will be retalaiation that virtaully anilalates every Arab/Muslim city in the world? Would they be so boastful about their distruction of America if they knew they and their families and their countries will not be around to enjoy the aftermath?

The USSR once made similar boasts about wiping out America and taking over the world. It was the knowledge of our power to retaliate that kept them at bay and finally brought them down. Perhaps the terrorists have heard too many bleeding-heart-Berkley-types spouting nonsense and theink that we do not have the guts to retaliate if it meant killing off whole countries. Perhaps it's time we did some threatening of our own.... its the only thing these creeps understand.

I do have one concern about all of this. I don't believe for a second they have ONE much less SEVEN nukes. However, if they ever DID use one, what would our response really be?

I mean, who would we nuke? I know it's comforting to say we'd just nuke the Arab/Muslim world, but WOULD WE? I mean, without evidence that any of these states were linked, what would we do? Would we just nuke terrorist states like Syria and Saudi Arabia(which we needed to do anyway)? Or would we just do an Israeli-type Samson Option and nuke Islam out of existence?

I just read my previous post and realized all the spelling typos I made...... its because my hands are shaking and I am sick at my stomach to see such hate. In my heart I know that men (even Islamic terrorist) are not capable of such hate without help. This kind of hate comes from Satan who is alive and well and spreading his evil. This kind of evil breeds of off fear. As Americans we must get a grip and stand strong, not in fear.... face these mad men and claim the power of our God. Are we still capable of doing that. I pray so!

I personaly think they would have used one by now, but its just the berkley type of attitude that frightens me.

To think we might not retaliate, its actually possible that we wouldn't till it was too late.

Don't kid yourselfs though folks, as soon as they think it will wirk, they'll use it. I think we will lose a city before its all said and done.
