This is a weak blog with strong statements and no logical support.

I'm sorry, but even Kim Jong Il is not stupid enough to do something that might result in World War III or global nuclear war.
I don't understand why everyone is so paranoid about nuclear weapons, the whole point in having them is so that we won't have to use them. Just launch them and get it over with, at least it'll put all this pointless fear to rest.

First one person got a stone weapon. Then everyone had to have stone weapons.
Then came bronze weapons, and another arms race.
Then iron weapons.
Then guns.
Then conventional bombs.
Then nuclear bombs.
I suppose a move first to fusion bombs as a primary "deterrent" will be next, followed eventually by antimatter weaponry.
Great progress, people.
"We can kill off humanity 500 times!"
"Oh yeah, we can do it 700 times! You lose! We.....well, we don't win, but we lose less!"

The thing is, if they do have one, using it shouldn't be too awfully difficult. Get ahold of a private jet somewhere in Europe, fly across the Atlantic (I assume that private/corporate jets are capable of this flight), fly low over a city, and trigger explosive.
I imagine the most difficult part of this would be figuring out how to rig the bomb to go off when desired, and not before.
Although, if it explodes over the middle of the Atlantic, that would still accomplish wonders for the terrorists without even destroying a single American city. When people realize that a nuke was on its way to the mainland, prepped to detonate, there'll probably be some panic and rioting. Those in charge will realize that they really can't do a whole lot to secure every single nuclear weapon in the world, and who knows, martial law to secure the country and quell the rioting and panic? In either way, the terrorists still score a victory. As far as they're concerned, detonating over a city would simply be a bonus.
