I am looking at cause and effect. Consider the effects of the 9/11 attack on this country. They could not have done that with a nuclear bomb. We must assume they had the option to use one. This is not about simple destruction (which would be a function of megatonnage), but about achieving specific effects on a society. Of course, you're right though, except I think if there is a nuclear weapon used in the next few years, it will probably be the US that uses it. Pat Robertson would approve, I'm sure -
