For those of you who think that nuking mecca is a good idea, what exactly do you think that would do? Do you think that the islamic zealots would be more or less likely to try and destroy the US if their holy land was destroyed? Do you think that the rest of the arab world would be more or less likely to sponser terrorism on a global scale or possibly even declare all out war? Look at it this way, if someone nuked DC or any US city for that matter, would we turn around and run with our tail between our legs? I think not. If Iraq attacks israel with WMD, id say nuke baghdad to hell. If saudi arabia did the same, id say the same. If Islam itself, ie the entire arab world declared war on the US, then nuke each and everyone of them. But in reality, by a pre-emptive strike on mecca we would be signing our own death warrant.

As a caveat, if someone else nuked mecca, id be perfectly fine with that.
