A nuclear first strike by the US under any circumstances IMO would be a huge miscalculation. The political fallout by all its allies and pretend allies would create a position of the US vs. the world. I can imagine the knee jerk reaction to my comments will be righteous indignation given 9/11 but I do think any US moral high ground would be lost in the flash of a nuclear blast. It might be said...so what...who cares what the mealy mouthed think. I see a scenario where several fronts of terrorism may occur and anti-terrorism solidarity does not follow. I believe it would be a BAD idea. JMO.
