"It's concievable, though HIGHLY unlikely, that a leader of a country with ICBM's and nukes might lob a few missiles at us in the future if he's of the same mind as some of these suicide bombers, and willing to have his country glassed over, as that would be our response." The thing is, most of those leaders aren't of that mind set. Because such an action would mean risking their highly prized skin. Even among the most devout Muslims, who seem to be the current Boogy men. How many mullahs have strapped on a suicide vest? The next one will be the first, as it were. For most of these guys, if they want 72 virgins, all they have to do is snap their fingers, no potentially gruesome dying required. Sure, leaders like Dear Leader don't care what happens to their people, although losing a majority of them on a whim could be uncomfortable, but even he knows that, post glassing, we would search every where until we found him. And we wouldn't be particularly impressed with his claims of dietyhood. So, like I said. Be wary. But not stupid about it.
