How does one deal with a "Suicide Bomber" with a Nuke?
"Might" might not work in that scenario.
The Might comes out in the afterrmath. New York is nuked today. Iran turns into a glass paved car park the following day. The question then is who are the good guys? The ones who get to write the history one supposes.
The worry with all these nutter states (Iran, North Korea etc.) is that they seem to thnik that a couple of fission warheads stuck on a souped up Scud turns them into a force to be reckoned with. The Cold War stayed cold because both sides had equal strength and nobody blinked. These Jihadi guys believe they are setting up Armageddon and that being the good guys, angels will ride in to whisk them off to paradise. They are dead set on having a scrap.
For the sake of international peace, they have to be made to understand that waving a nuke in your face is justification for a pre-emptive strike. Rather than that stupid invasion, perhaps "the coalition" should simply have nuked Baghdad to force the message home?
Its a good job I'm not the H of S of a nuclear power eh? You can see what that kind of thinking leads to...
