If the US would be crazy enough to use nuclear weapons, then you better
pray that your god has mercy on all Americans -- because there is no doubt
in my mind that many more of them will then die in terrorist attacks.

Jeroen, let me be really clear on this. It seems reasonable to believe
that some number of Americans well over 10,000 - quite possibly as high as
50,000 - innocent Americans were murdered by animals today for the "crime"
of being Americans. If we find out that another country was responsible
for this assault, a nuclear retaliation would be appropriate and
proportionate to what has just happened. Now is not the time for your
rantings. I find it astonishing that _even you_ would make your first
statement after this massacre be critical of our response. Given what has
just happened, we can respond however we damn well please, and the rest of
the world had better either help us or get the hell out of our way. We are
at war. We just don't know whom we are going to make suffer because of
that. We soon will. When we find out, those cowards will be exterminated.
I don't think there's anyone in the United States who is feeling
particularly merciful right now. Any country that harbored these people
would, I have no doubt, be considered immediately at war with the United
States. And the world has not seen what that means in full for 56 years.
But it is about to find out. Pearl Harbor has happened all over again.
Someone appears to have forgotten what happened to the last people to
launch a surprise attack on the United States. They will not have very
long to regret their mistake.
