"On September 10th, 2001, if I told you that Arabs are going to hijack four airliners and crash them into skyscrapers, you'd call me nuts and say that America would GLASS OVER any country that had done that, and ALL the Arabs know this." I doubt it. For one, there is a big difference between nuking a major city and what happened on 9/11. For another, there wasn't an identifiable country that was responsible. This is one of those apples and camels comparisons.

"On September 10th, 2001, if I told you that Arabs are going to hijack four airliners and crash them into skyscrapers, you'd call me nuts and say that America would GLASS OVER any country that had done that, and ALL the Arabs know this." But no COUNTRY did it. Did they? If a COUNTRY had done it, we WOULD have punished them severely, but I doubt we'd have nuked them. As terrible as 9/11 was - it doesn't compare to the destruction and horror a nuke would cause. ( But with Cheney at the helm, who knows? ) The truth is you CAN'T connect the dots. Your whole fearmongering premise is ridiculous. You conflate the terrorists with Iran and Syria. Do you REALLY think that if Iran gets a nuke, they'll give it to the terrorists? I don't. If you look back, the same thing was said about Pakistan - didn't happen, did it?
