Al of these doomsdayers forget that the West has the nuclear option.
No matter how quickly these primitives develop a nuclear weapon of their own, the minute they deliver one to a Western city and turn it into a radioactive crater, they will be annihilated, probably starting at places like Damascus, Tehran, Mecca, and Medina.
They are counting on their "12th Imam" to protect them from the fury that is bound to follow such an attack, but, alas, the "12th Imam" is only a myth perpetrated by the Devil.

I don't see any western countries with the will to act. I don't think at present you would see a nuclear response from the U.S. even if several American cities were destroyed tonight. Who do you blame? Who do you attack?
It should be our pre-announced, public policy to destroy certain muslim cities and 'holy' sites if WMD's are used against us. You would see much less support for the military arm of islam if the major players in the ME thought it was a credible threat.

What makes you so sure?
Isn't it also possible we would determine the perps were not from a national entity, but were rogues from say Al Qaeda.
And we'd determine we needed allies like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to continue helping us fight?
And we would determine the present military was big enough for this world war. No draft.
And we'd determine no financial sacrifices. No taxes, no surcharges, no war bonds, etc.
In other words, it would be business as usual, just like since 9/11/2001.
Which is probably what cost the election in November.
