Imagine next time 100 suicide terrorists with 10 each going to every major city in the US simultaneously launching shit. The US government and infrasrtucture will collapse instantly and we'll be in total anarchy.
So who do you nuke in retalitation? These fuckers are like rats hidden in the walls. They work in small cells. They have no command and control centers. They live in populated cities and have no military bases to bomb back.
We're sitting ducks and the clock is ticking.

That's the problem - it's too easy! Sealing up borders and sitting in a cocoon ain't the answer either - they'd be there, one way or other, - so why bother?
Taking twenty paces back may turn up some solutions, or partial ones. Eg.. What *exactly* is it they 'hate" so much that there is a desire to attack the US? Sure, there is what can be descibed as a total nut element, but it's obviously more than that.
The US is fundamentally very little different to other western countries so ya can assume they will (they have to a degree) get the same treatment? But they don't fall for the old trip of spending billions on "protecting the homeland" - that's like giving it up on a plate and admitting terrorism wins when the taxpayer foots the bill.
It may helpful getting actual intelligence at ground level - this was obviously lacking, - whether it has improved much is doubtful.
It is also not helpful when an admin sucessfully becomes the recruitment officer for those inclined towards joining terrorist orgs.
On the effects, - sure as hell they will cause an instant demise of infrastruture irrespective of how well prepared a nation is. Kinda obvious, despite claims, the US ain't prepared (Katrina?), but who would be in real life for shit like nuclear attacks?
The idea of having nukes against "terrorists" who will disappear into the background is not exactly the height of intelligence for many reasons!
Let's hope it don't happen anywhere - nuclear nations developed this shit, what else do they expect? We can bomb the fuck out of others, but nobody else will bomb us? Dream on stuff!
