James,
But neither Jerome nor yourself has answered my question. Actually it is two questions. Should we #1 make it clear that we will respond with weapons of mass destruction to an attack that employs these weapons and #2 should we follow thru on our threat. I studied these questions back in the sixties at the University of Chicago. I had to discipline myself then to think beyond the human catastrophe of these weapons use and counter use. The goal here is to prevent their use not to justify their use. And just so you know when i say use its at military targets of states and terrorists involved. Of course there would be civilian casualties but we deterred the Soviets with military targets as i remember it and both sides got away from targeting cities at least as intitial targets. mike
