Considering what has happened this past week and the utter hatred these fundamentalists have for Americans, do you believe they would use a nuclear weapon as a way to further their ends?

Edit: ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN REFERENCE TO THE TERRORISTS, NOT THE U.S.!!!!

lol.

Your post and poll are different. I had to read it a couple of times and kept looking at the poll and then your question.

Your message says:

".....do you believe they would not use a nuclear weapon.....?

And your poll says
" Do you think they would use a nuclear weapon....?

That means time to go to bed for me if that tripped me up.

This is afa US using one, I read an article on another board that someone found a news site (credible) that ran a story saying although it is "possible" it *may* be used as a last resort

Nobody's stupid enough to use a nuke at this point in time. Do some research on MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) if you don't believe me.

He'd do it and it's not cuz he's stupid...it's cuz he spread his propaganda so much that he's starting to believe it himself...

If one was set off anywhere in our country there would be hell to pay. Sorry about the confusion.

if we or anyone uses a nuke, it will not go good, and it will only get worse in the long run. I feel it will spark so much and we'll all be under radiation and mushroom clouds before I even graduate college :(

Firstly, sorry for the mistake in my post. Secondly, Static911 is correct. I am referring to the TERRORISTS using a nuclear weapon, NOT the US. I thought that was fairly obvious.

your post weeds out those who just post w/o reading and people who read and then post

I was GONNA post about how stupid your idea was about using nuclear weapons, but then, i read it a bit more carefully, and bam, it says "hatred these fundamentalists..."

These people are capable of anything, as was evidenced last Teusday morning. The only way to prevent these people from continuing their terror is to kill them. They don't care about anyone and they certainly aren't afraid of retaliation. If anyone believes that terrorists would not use a nuclear weapon due to the priciple of MAD is naive (no offense intended). They would be quite happy if the entire world blew up. They think they are earning their way to Allah. Anyone who would suicide bomb anything is not afraid of the fallout of a nuclear strike (no pun intended).
