How much damage would 20 tactical nukes do? I suspect millions of dead. I suspect a collapsed economy. I suspect a total re-thinking of our Middle East policy. I suspect permanent disfavor for George W. Bush.

Given that, how come the nukes haven't gone off?

Cause they aren't here.

Yep, and terrorists would never hijack planes, use them as missiles, and suicide crash them big buildings.

Oppenheimer and his really really bright frenz all had a helluva time making one simple bomb work under very controlled conditions. Now imagine if they packaged one up, gave Richard Reid strict training on how to set it off, and then sent him on his way in a container ship/mexico-border-crossing semi......am I convinced al-Qaeda has enough brainiacs to pull one off, much less 40 without being detected and punked?

Inaword: no. JMHO.

It would end our world as we know it.

Just need one nuke to go off to justify turning Damascus and Tehran into parking lots.
