As I see it, there's one thing only which would would prevent such an event. That would be our having an ICBM with the heaviest and most evil hydrogen bomb warhead we possess aimed at the city of Mecca, and a guarantee that it will be launched five minutes after the first nuclear, biological, or other major wmd event those idiots ever manage to perpetrate on American soil.

That would be our having an ICBM with the heaviest and most evil hydrogen bomb warhead we possess aimed at the city of Mecca, and a guarantee that it will be launched five minutes after the first nuclear, biological, or other major wmd event those idiots ever manage to perpetrate on American soil.

So, we figure out who did it in 5 minutes? What if it was the North Koreans? Don't you think it would be a bit embarassing if we nuked Mecca?

So exactly how many months is it going to take for the wannabe kewl tough guys to give up the "nuking Mecca" garbage? It is painfully old, not funny when intended as humor, and isn't going to happen. Give it up.
