I was going on purely the standpoint that Canada has basically declare itself OUT on any attacks, and it appears if this doofus is going to actually go thru with it, he's not going to be begging other countries for help.

Seattle or Detroit????
There isn't alot there to blowup that would benefit terrorists compared to other locations. They might disrupt the Seattle computer industry etc which wouldn't be good, nor would taking out Detroits auto industry, but come on, there are more important targets that would wreak alot more havouc.
Had some of you been in school in th 60's when we actually HAD nuclear attack drills, you'd know that there are 5 main wind drifts over this continent... ALL blowing gradually SouthEast. Yes the wind generally blows from the SW but it follows those down drifts. Besides the fact that a dirty bomb would only affect a small area and not have widespread nuclear devastation like some of you are picturing.
And no I don't condone an attack without being absoLUTELY sure that Iraq has the capability to make REAL nuclear bombs WITH the ways to deliver them. If he has the stuff, then there should be something done. But none of us are
1) Smart enough - with all the political BS that is involved.
2) Have ANY say in it
Number 2 says it all so all this talking about it has NO effect whatsoever on how this is handled. Its up to the powers that be, not us to decide. WE didn't vote the idiot in there.
