Nuke Iraq? I'll speculate that tactical nukes might be used if the bed of the terrorists is identified. That being said, I don't think any US ships have carried nuclear weapons for quite a few years. They'll have to come from Europe. Perhaps a NATO stockpile.

Carl, Nukes are my deepest fear here. I've never been so scared as I am now... Mark

Until you know with some degree of certainty where this attack came from, I would nothing except handle the problems created by this attack, and improve security. It is clear to me that the final trek of these planes were piloted by the terrorists themselves, one simple security measure would be personal ID on all planes pilot's "stickcs" (they have these on hand guns now, the technology exists) so that the plane cannot be taken over and continue or automatically be taken by automatic pilot when an attempt to take the plane over occurs, with ground authorization for release of those controls. As for the response, once we know where this came from, unleash our conventional might, nuclear weapons should not be used, IMHO, unless no other approaches can succeed. I doubt this is the case here and now. Zeev
