1. If you listen to Sean Hannity... it's us. |

The Neo-cons seem more than eager to show our nuclear force.

This is depressing. It is obvious that we have a madman in the whitehouse. And these posts and post in other sites that are very similar to this show that most people (with brains) believe we are going to be nuking another country soon?!? WTF Get the son of a bitch outa there NOW! If there is indeed a chance that this is true just get him the hell out.

18. The neglected trouble spot |
|
is India. There papers openly worry that America(showing its current ineptness in Bush/Condy "armistice" ham-handedness and favoritism) will be able or disinclined to stop the perennial blowups between them and pakistan(Bush ally). This is extremely bad. Bush I's diplomats narrowly averted a hot war. Today? It would likely be guaranteed, Powell out of the picture completely.

24. Put the UK at the bottom |
|
the UK must ask technical permission of the US first. Their force isn't completely independent.
France will pop one on the country that attacks us or another European country in a 9/11 style. Chirac has made it clear. But it probably would be on a military base or vital infrastructure, not on a crowded capital.

Mr. Constructive, you can do better than that cryptic little comment. If the thought of Israel being nuked is a good one to you, why not have the guts to admit it. If that's not what you meant, why not clear it up?

good thought can be interpreted as, "you have a point," and I meant it in that way. Just for the record: I don't want Israel to be nuked. I don't want nukes to be used at all by any country. Sorry for being cryptic.

I use Zionist just as I don't like to include all "Americans" as responsible for Repubs' actions. I have Israeli friends who wouldn't fight a lick for the actions of the Zionists... and they aren't just Muslim Arabs.

28. But the hypothetical attack was on Israel... |

...therefore the response would be "Israeli." Just like an attack on the US would be responded to by "Americans."

but Clinton did a good job of handling the crisis and having them step down. And of course, the threat of a coup is always present. As another said, if they're first, India is second.
North Korea - What do they have to lose? In a conflict with the US on the Korean peninsula, NK could...
Iran - How much does Ahmedenijad hate Israel? Would he risk his nation's population centers to kill many Israelis?
Israel - if they are cornered in any sense, they will undoubtadly use them.
Russia - they face threats of terrorism, but would they use nuclear weapons against the Chechens? They have certainly reacted quite brutally in the past with regards to them.
China - if a war with India or the US were to break out, then it's always a possibility.
Contrary to what most believe, I don't think the US is that likely to use nukes, even under Bush. Why bother? We have enough conventional weapons to do whatever damage we want. It's unecessary and as psychotic as this administration is, I don't see it happening just yet.
I don't think the other western nuclear powers are very likely to rely on nukes at this point.
But if there is any sort of nuclear terrorist attack on the US, it's possible...

If Musharriff is assaninated and Taliban-types come to power Delhi will be turned into radioactive glass and we will have World War III on our hands. Indian Muslims will be massacred by Hindu Nationalists, angering other Muslim countries causing them to declare war on India. The Pakistani Fundies invade Afganistan, bringing NATO into the war. When NATO joins the war Middle Eastern states retaliate by invading Israel and Iraq. Israel nukes Mecca and Tehran, Pakistan nukes Tel Aviv, them the US nukes Islamabad...
