that looks like a response to me, even if the outcome is not what

Who is the Patron Saint of Lost Causes? I need to know, so we can send
him/her your way, 'cause you are surely a lost cause.

Why you can not see the connection between doing nothing, when men of evil
rise to power, and the outbreak of world wars, is beyond me.

It happened before, and it will-was happening again. Do nothing again
Martin? A very dangerous direction to take, indeed.

Yep. It was further punctuation of the lack of a creditable response to the
attacks against US citizens. They kept coming at us. Then you get 9-11.

I do not understand why Martin and some others can not see, that doing
nothing only encourages the attacks to continue, and escalate.

You want to stop a bully? Punch him in the nose. Keep hurting him, until
the cost to him is too high.

I've looked for the quote in the past - no luck.

Someone in the Israeli government, maybe Moshe Dayan:
'A Superpower should never mount a rescue operation with only six
helicopters.'

Are you talking about the United States here?

And the rest of the world would just sit around and watch? If we
unilaterally used nuclear weapons 1st against anyone, the entire world would
be united against us. The top priority of every country would be to get
their own nuclear arsenal to stop any similar attack on them. In short
order, you'd have a nuclear arms race that would dwarf anything we've ever
seen.

It's amazing to me the inability of people to anticipate even the most
obvious secondary effects of what they advocate.

They were dirty bombs that used a large amount of uranium
and or plutonium, only a small part was actually fisioned,
but it was all part of the high energy fallout. The bombs
were large and as you said, were air burst at about 2,000
AGL.
A ground penetration bomb was not possible at the time and
an air burst maximized the destructive radius. Today we can
make a bomb that will detonate several hundred feet
underground with minimal ejection of debris.

I would expect that only a few such bombs would be used,
most bombs would be conventional. Oil fields and terminals
would not likely be targeted.

All the talk about nukes is missing the future WMD, engineered
viruses. In a few years it will be possible for a very small group of
people to design and manufacture viruses that are highly contagious
and cause a high percentage of fatalities. Yes, it would be very hard
to limit their destruction once released but to fanatics who simply
hate that does not matter.

We have had many discussions here regarding recklessness. I note that it's
definition is "without regard for consequences". It seems to be a lot more
common than we like to admit.
