Jacob,
You made our point better than I was able to. There is a qualitative line between conventional and non-conventional weapons and we need to be real careful before we cross it. But in our scenario, it certainly would be more humane to cross it that not. Fire bombing of dresden and tokyo and many other battles or attacks took more life than nukes. And as far as states that support terrorism are concerned, they should again be warned as Iraq was during the Gulf War. Use bio/chem and nukes are on the table. bin Laden may want to be a martyr; Sadaam is a western creation and wants his 72 virgins now while he still in producing some testosterone. mike
PS Sorry about Brian. No one wanted him to leave.
