<<<I think you nailed it in a prior post. Our way of life could likely survive a nuclear bomb or two going off in an American city. I doubt very much that it would survive the reaction.>>> That would greatly depend on who is President at the time. I can imaginge if George W. Bush or Rudy Giuliani were President. We would no doubt become a police state. Things would be completely different if Obama were President. I could be very confident that would be the case, but I wouldn't know how it would ultimately turn out. He could turn this into a mess or we could have a unique opportunity to make something good out of something that was a misfortune. There is no way to know. It is a crap shoot. Whereas if Hillary were President, we could be sure that everything would be taken care of. We would have a proper response and the tragedy would be mitigated. She would follow the prudent course.
