I'm not downplaying the threat, a terrorist with a nuke is a very serious threat, but even than probably not a threat to the west's existence None of us know how the USA and its surviving population would react if NYC, Chicago and LA were knocked out with millions dead. Survival is the first human instinct. What did the Germans do? They joined with Hitler. What did the French do? They joined with Hitler. What did Lebanon do? It joined with Hezbollah. Each administration has one over riding obligation to its citizens. Their security and well being. IOW, preparation is not the only thing, it is everything when it gets down a possible or potential nuclear threat from a terrorist group/s.
