Ustwo, it is possible that in the event of a nuclear attack, the USA will go on a killing rampage, brandishing righteous anger, and slaughtering every possible zealot sympasizer of the islamofascist cause.
Don't get me wrong. USA has the power to do that. You have the power to drop a Nuke on Mecca, the Ships to rain lead down on every hovel within 50 km of the sea, and your Armor can burn the deserts with your vengence.
That is why the terrorists are a political, not a military, threat. Hell, with your boys in a foriegn country, the rebels are reduced to blowing up more locals than the occupiers. You have military superiority over your opponents.
But, in my opinion, that is a worst case scenario. Because the geopolitical consequences would be unpretty.
