    Yeah, you are right we should go ahead and send a tactical nuke into northern Pakistan.

    Good point SLand.

    Didn't Eisenhower say that dropping atomic bombs was unnecessary and a mistake?

    How would Americans deal with an unavenged attack?

    I'm not saying these bombings were right or wrong but
    How would we deal with bombings of this magnatude?

    I think alot of the bombing was probably a punishment for Pearl Harbor.
    There are Americans that wanted to Nuke IRaq.

    Let's say for instance We did not have nukes when we invaded Iraq yet They did. Would they be justified in using them against us (the aggressors)?

    Hell Yeah they would. IMO. You mess with the bull you get the horns....
    Hopefully, we'd be smart enough to stop after the 1st one too.

    No. Just the title. I can make snarky comments based off of that, right?

    In this day and age, the US would never nuke another country, let alone another nuclear state.

    If our backs were against the wall, then we'd use them. If you're not prepared to use them then don't develop them. Isn't a Big A$$ H-Bomb deterent enough? A Tact Nuke is not meant for deterent.

    However, I think it would be a last resort or a very angry response.
