Now, I think the real nuclear threat to the US are smuggled-in bombs by terrorists/rouge nations.

I agree, but I also think that the Military needs to be ready for both types of bombs. Our issue now is that we are all set up to fight another World War and not gurilles ( i know i spelt that one worng). We should be able to do both. That way we are safer than we are now. Adressing one type and forgeting about the other does no good in the long run. Too bad our military leaders tend to wear blinders.

I whole-heartly agree. But, I think like Reagan did. So, you can have an Idea on where I was coming from.
