If somehow a nuclear weapon fell into the hands of a terrorist and the weapon came from any country that did not have the capacity to strike back effectively, that would signal the end of the leadership of that country, as well as a great many of it's citizens. Why? Look at what Hizbullah has accomplished in Lebanon. It's a state within a state, and answers to Syria and Tehran, not Beirut. It can start wars and attempt to bring down governments with impunity. Nobody has made Tehran pay a dime for any of this.

They haven't so far. Threats are useless unless they are believable, ed.
