I have mentioned that one of the reasons I left the Air Force in 1967 was because of the area that I worked in and the knowledge I had of defensive/offensive strategies. We could destroy the world 7 times over with our nuclear arsenal and the Russians could destroy the world 4.5 times. About ten years ago I heard that we could destroy the world 770 times with our nuclear arsenal. Things have really improved.

Now if you want to stop this irrational behavior being expressed by members of Islam then simply destroy the world once. You would still have the ability to destroy it 769 more times! No fear or retaliation involved. We are all cooked or as we said, “crispy critters”. :)







>No, Kevin. It has little to do with nuclear retaliation. If you want to create huge hoards of true Jihadists all over the planet and especially in the U.S., then I can't think of a better way than to nuke the middle east.

>So let me get this straight....if we do nothing, we continue to have Islamic radicals who want to kill infidels. And if we do something, we incite Islamic radicals who want to kill infidels.

>The fact that we'd piss off people after an attack is not lost on me. We'd be foolish not to expect retaliation from what would be left. Anyone who wants a 100% safe solution is better off setting up camp at the North Pole.

>But there's one thing that's far, far worse than potential retaliation from bombing Tehran - allowing Tehran to develop a bomb.
