Not. No nukes. Not practical. War is a practical matter.

The Afghanis said it would take a country to co-ordinate such and attack. I don't think so, but it would cost more than a dollar. More than likely it was an inside job to get the weapons aboard the airliner. So you have a couple of cells of fighters with some financial support and some inside track on schedules. They probably had some one inside in food services or airport checking.

The enemy is a ghost, hiding in a dozen Muslim countries. They have gov't support and training in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Libya, Algeria, Sudan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Oman, and Iran. Other Muslim areas are suspect, from Kosovo, to Turkey, Chechnya, Azerbijan, Kazahkstan, and Northern India. Are you going to attack them all? One? two?

They know they have you. They can and do hide in all these states in turn.

We can point strike and bomB. It will do no good.

And we are not going to overrun the state that trained these guys either. (except possibly if it turns out to be Afghanistan or Iraq) Nor are we going to go to war against them all.

And far moreso today than 10 years ago before widespread use of J.I.T. inventory management in the U.S.
