>Now who do you retaliate against? A ten ton nuclear device would fit very nicely in a small van which could be parked in downtown New York. It would kill at least 10 million persons and now what do you do? Retaliatory strike does not work So far prayer has helped and it costs nothing except time from the individual.

Actually, it would be easier to put the device on a small boat and moor it somewhere near Liberty Island. I understand that nuclear explosions in water make for really nasty fall-out.

My theory is that the only thing that will save us now is to achieve true peace (and that means justice) in the world.

Of course, in the mean time, we should probably offer a pretty steep reward ($10 million seems like a nice round amount) to anyone with information about a terrorist attack on the US. And let us hope that the intelligence report is not ignored as were the Yemen reports.

P.S.
On second thought that approach might backfire. I imagine that Hamas wouldn't mind cooking up a fake attack and sacrificing some of their members in order to collect the reward.
