Would you still say that if you thought they would succeed in killing 10 million in Beijing, 20 million in Tokyo and would wipe out another 10 million people in other cities, including Soeul and other Japanese cities? Is your idea of "not showing weakness" to launch a war today in which 40 million people die in the first hour?

and what would you say if terrorists get their hands on nuclear waste and start deploying dirty bombs, or worse, get their hands on a nuclear weapon? Iran's missile technology is from North Korea. Will North Korea also supply nuclear weapons to their allies? Many mullahs are now teaching that Islam and jihad are inseparable. Worse, only the US has an embargo against Iran and other nations are entering into mega oil and gas field development deals. America is a war and just not with terrorists. There is a new economic cold war being waged and just two of the weapons being used are nuclear proliferation and oil development deals that keep new oil out of the world market, effectively alienating new production from the USA as old giant oil fields decline.
