The USA will not use nuclear weapons against other nations, even in response to a significant WMD attack stateside.

I believe you are VERY wrong.

IF a WMD attack were to ever happen here (God forbid), the American response would be MASSIVE & COMPLETE.

There is simply no other way.

On who? If NYC vaporizes at the stroke of midnight on Christmas, and it turns out to be an AQ cell made up of Saudis, Yemenis, and Indonesians, based out of Rome, using a bomb bought from the Russian black market with money raised among Arab-Americans in Detroit, who would we bomb?

Suppose Al Qaeda nukes NY tomorrow - who do we strike back against? Do we nuke the mountains of Afghanistan & Pakistan in response?

Yea right...massive and complete against who? We are going to nuke some city where 99.9% of the people are innocent? I doubt it. We did it in WWII, but we were trying to get a nation to surrender. Terrorists have no nation to surrender. Nuking a civlian population would accomplish nothing.

Sorry, but no way will we use nukesin thewaron terror,unless things get very extreme and we declare war on one or more nations.

Even then, even if we take a WMD hit first, we wont use nukes unless things get very extreme.

I think you are very wrong if you expect us to nuke some other country (whichone?)should 1/5th ofnyc benuikedoff the face of the earth. It just isn't going to happen.
