Don,
I tried reasoning on
Steve's fear and anger that good golly we may have to suffer and die for
freedom. I'm sure I was nowhere near as effective as you in this
post.
Thanks for being out
there.
Thanks for making me
laugh.

That would be very. Tunnels and caves would be a relatively good way
to avoid radiation, and radiation would contaminate the environment and
lead to further escalation including possible nuclear war.
Oh
brother. Here we go. Possible nuclear war with just WHO Steve??? A bunch of
Afghani herdsmen with AK-47's? Please. Granted, great guerilla
fighters they may be. But nuclear capability? C'mon. That's a stretch, even
by the incredibly credulous standards of the CTRL!
So...let's see.
What other Mid East baddie might engage in a bit of the old "nuclear
escalation". Oh! I know! Saddam Hussein. Yeah. Let's see. He could take an
oil tanker and retrofit a missle gantry on the deck. Then he could load it
up with a nuclear tipped SCUD. Then he could cross the Atlantic, park off
the New York coastline, and (given the SCUD's known accuracy) might hit the
Jersey swamps.
Or how about one of those misnamed "suitcase nukes"? OK.
Let's consider that scenario. Suitcase nuke goes off in a major US city,
doing massive damage, albeit in an extrememly limited area (approx. 1 mile
radius). Fallout is minimal precisely because the weapons are low yield. US
reaction? The entire Arab world gets lit up like a Christmas tree. Now
THAT'S what I call "escalation!
