It would be political suicide for the U.S. in the Middle East.

Indeed. We would instantly lose every ally we ever had in the region -- most likely including Israel. Not to mention the uber-billions we would spend rebuilding Iraq after such blast, just as we did for Japan.

These incidents are barbaric; but it evidences that the war effort is seen by our enemy as being drastically effective. They are pulling out all the stops because we are doing something very right. The only thing to do ... is to keep doing it harder than ever.

Yes! At some point the common folk will realize that the ruling elite and their henchman have lost control. Then the frenzy of paybacks will begin!

I disagree. Not with the fact that we're doing something very right, but with the idea that they're pulling out all the stops because of anything we're doing.

The way I see it, they're not pulling out all the stops at all. They're just doing the only thing they know: committing acts of unspeakable evil. We're fighting soul-less demons who have never, and will never, know any bounds.

Pulling out all the stops in this conflict can only be defined as launching a chemical or biological attack. Everything else is par for the course for these monsters.

As far as going nuclear, and the international political implications... it's that very consideration that could force our hand. Our capitulation to the sensibilites of already hostile nations in fighting this war has, and will continue to, make us unnecessarily vulnerable.
