Thanks for the note, Char. As far as nukes are concerned, a first strike is a bad idea. If we are nuked first, then it will be time to clean out the arsenals and scorch the earth wherever it needs scorching.
If some myths are true, it won't be the first time that entire region became radioactive.
Personally, I think the only salvation for Islam is for them to quarantine themselves and isolate themselves from humanity. Perhaps in time it might evolve into a bloodless 'religion.'
Very quickly, I would imagine -- once they realize the only human sacrifices they'll have access to are their own family members.

IMHO, we were nuked first. Actually we were nuked twice. Both in the same place.
-WTC 1993, by the grace of God, the building didn't go down immediately and kill tens of thousands.
-WTC 2001, the destruction was equal to a suitcase nuke at least.
Waiting to be nuked again, would be suicidal to this country. It could come from a shipping container, a truck coming across our unguarded border and do you think, in our present PC mentality, we would strike back against some country without "proof" that country was "involved".
No we can not wait to be nuked.
