Let's just say that tomorrow we lose Manhatten Island to a nuclear bomb. What do we do? I don't think I have to skirt around the issue of who the bomber would be, it's fairly obvious it would be one Muslim Fundamentalist or another. The question is what do we do? I know, emotionally, that putting away the few in numbers that were actually directly involved would not ease my mind. I'd want something big and bad that kills a whole lot of people and says to the world, "If you kick us, we're going to cut your hearts out and eat them for breakfast." Much of America would agree with me, but that means a huge number of innocents in the Middle East would die. So in a manner of speaking, any further WMD attacks (with 9/11 as the first) on the US from Islamists will be tantamount to suicide for the heart of the Muslim world. I hope it doesn't happen, but I hear rumors that Al Queda and friends consider the reelection of Bush as a thumbs up to total war.
