For the same reason Russia and the US never attacked each other. Russia and the US had a whole lot of deployed and ready weapons. If there was a war and nukes were used. If there was a war and nukes were used.... what? You would want to die? Many missiles are nuclear tipped. When I said "What about "enough to protect our interests", or to retaliate against those who attack us (rather then just providing a direct defense)?", I was talking more about conventional weapons. Particularly in the part where I said "protect our interests". If its one strike, the fallout would be minor. If its a number of nukes, the results could be devastating. No one know's for sure the full consequences. At least dozens, maybe hundreds, of nuclear devices have been exploded, quite a few of them in the US even if in sparsely populated areas and not all at the same time, and there has been no real devastation except by the two that were dropped on Japanese cities, and they only devastated those cities. If the war hadn't been pre-emptive, there would be no rebuilding charges.......there would have been no war. "If the war" means there had been a war by definition. If you say "If the war" you assume a war unless you say something like "if the war didn't happen". And again, there would have no war had we not attacked pre-emptively. My God, once you get on a track, you can see any other tracks. I can see other tracks but the point is you are asserting that you went down one track when you are really going down another. Tim
