This has now come around to bite us you know where because we now rank 15th in computer literacy, access to broadband and international competitivenss. The overall security of our Internet Assets is not up to international standards. The Cyber Attack from hell is what you should be worried about. Preventing it is a much better scenario than blasting the planet to slag after it happens. That is the fundamental flaw of this MAD that you righties swear by. The worst has to happen first. You gamble that it won't. Such a strategy proved its weakness on Sept. 11, 2001. Talk is cheap. As the U.S. slowly implodes under the weight of ignorance, fear and lack of opportunity for its people, it loses relevance and respect. The odds that someone will try something here, something big, something awful, increases with every passing year. Threatening them with nuclear annihilation doesn't work. Didn't work. And you want to try it again. Who is retarded by definition?

Still not paying attention. We will never deter the actual terrorists. They play by their own rules and hope to die. No threat will stop them. The nations that support them are a very different story. Afghanistan was allowed to become a rat's nest of Islamo-nazi terrorist. Clinton didn't have the kahunas to go there and kill our enemies let alone install a responsible government and we see what happened. The same Islamic terrorists seek friendly nations to host them while they develop new plans to attack us and execute those plans. The nuclear threat will keep the not welcome mat out for al Qaeda their stripe.

Not an unlikely scenario. What happened to holding a country responsible for terrorist acts from their country?
Should we NUKE a country where terrorist cells may reside, even though the country itself did not attack us? What kind of thinking is this?
