You know what's kind of eerie? I remember seeing a made for tv movie, quite recently but can't remember what it's called.
In the movie the President of the United States was killed I believe, and the vice president takes over. Saddam's son invades kuwait again, and the vice-president-president decides that because of other theatres of operations, they can't fight a conventional war in Iraq at the time. The President announces to the world that if Iraqi soldiers do not immediately withdraw, the united states will drop a nuke on Bagdad.
This big crisis erupts, Iraq appears to have nukes, but it turns out the French sold them dummy nukes just for this occasion. Bagdad gets made crispy and the President delivers a speach that caps off with (and I paraphrase here):
"Today we showed the world that if the safety of our nation or our allies is threatened .. The Unites States has nuculear weapons, and we will us them".
Anyway, I watched that with a bunch of people .. And we cheered. No, we're not Americans.
It's nice to see a Strong USA holding murderers accountable. Americas armed forces deserve all of our thanks, and respect.
