I said, we paid for them so we shouldn't take the option off the table.

Of course the prinicpals are the same. thats why it still has the word nuclear in the name. But thats also why I said thats the problem. The international community as well as half this country, would be up in arms. The NYT front page would read "USA NUKES IRAN." All sorts of images of mushroom clouds and melting skin come to mind. Pictures of Hiroshima get plastered all over the place. But the effects of one of these tactical nukes would not come close to the amount of death and destruction. Unless you were working in that nuke plant, you're safe.

I'm not so sure we should use them. For the above reasons and for the reasons you've stated. I don't know how negative the world really would react to it. But ruling out the possibility of using them is stupid.
