Five or six well placed devices could destroy several large population centers of the United States, from the East Coast to the West Coast. Then what do we do? There is so much nuclear material missing from Russia it is frightning. Add to that the willingness of who knows who would sell material to make nuclear devices. Anything for a buck!

Call me paranoid, but I agree with you. I think we will see a terrorist organization detonate a small nuclear device in one of the major coastal cities, and/or Denver, within this decade. Probably something on the order
of 25 to 100 Ktons, and each about the size of a lunch box. Just the kind of
minature weapon technology that Clinton allowed to be leaked (sold?) from
ABQ, with weapons grade being supplied by Russia following the agreement
between Putin and Gore. At the same time similar strikes, with smaller
nukes - 5 to 10KTons, will take place in Israel, but not Jeruselum.
After that who knows what...
