The missiles that will be launched at Las Vegas and other cities is a way different story. Those are strategic ones. One SS-18 missile aka Satan is able to burn out a whole state like Texas. So please don't confuse tactical nukes with strategic ones.
3) I have used Las Vegas as en example of a city, located near the nuke testing zone.
So how exactly you want to use cruise missiles to prevent new terrorist attacks by this mad monkey?

My bad.. for some reason I was thinking I was replying to him. I never said we could use nukes to deal with anything. I think once we start going down that road even with small tacticals it would lead us somewhere we don't want to go..
I think if the US, China, Russia, Britain, EU ect.. ever attacked another naval ship of their adversary it would mean all out war including nukes.. (I'm talking ships from the big boy countries) I'd say the only navy ships that anyone could attack with out it being all out war would be from third world shit holes.. Like the Somalian pirate Navy.. lol they are ok to sink..
Now with that said, I could possibly see a sub getting taken out but it would be extremely risky for any of the big hitter to do..The reason I say a sub, is because it would take a long time to determine "why" it went down which would be enough time to cool down the situation. For instance, I could see someone taking out say one of Iran's diesel/electric subs because no way could Iran ever prove who took it out. They could claim it was the US all day long but no one would listen to them because they aren't reliable source of info.
For the record the US had tactical nukes that were launched like a mortar charge. Ironically they were called the "Davy Crockett" my dad used to work on them when he was in the military, this was during Vietnam.. (no that's not where my name came from)
