you know the thing i find funniest about nuc's. they are a subimission weapon. they would only ever be used to cause a larger amount of collateral damage in a war wear there was a stalemate in traditional arms. are there any other nation in the world that could lock arms with the US and cause a stalemate. the answer is NO not even china could do that. therefore the US has no need for nuc's ever. nuc's are a weapon used to destroy and fight nations not terrorist. terrorist will not stop fighting if the US nuc's every major city in the middle east.
