as much as i'd like to see these _______ (i can't say a name bad enough so just fill in the blank with whatever you'd like) get what they've got coming to them, i think sending off a bunch a nukes is just cutting off our nose to spite our face.
unlike WW2, we aren't the only ones with nukes anymore. and don't kid yourself, ours wouldn't be the only ones launched.
we're outraged that innocents were killed and injured. but we are no better than the terrorists if we use nukes to retatliate because thousands of more innocents will be affected than we intend to unleash our anger on. the effects of nukes are widespread and we'd be polluting our own world. eventually that will come back to harm (haunt?) us. we would not be immune to the effects of those nukes.
something along the lines of the bombing of germany in the final days/weeks/months of WW2 would suit me just fine. relentless, hounding bombing. it kills just as well as a nuke.

I knew a carpet bomber fan was going to chime in real quick. I should have addressed that right off.
My feelings about carpet bombing are not unlike yours. But it shows too much courtesy. Too much chance.
Bring us bin Laden, or we set you back to the stone age. Not that your too far from it already.
Yes the global community has to be unified in our decision.
Of course many countries will opt for the "Fuck You" response many of you seem to prefer. Imagine our standing in the global community if we actually pull up to the UN and say we would like to exercise our nuclear option.
Yes, in all actuality...It ain't gonna happen.
America will have re asserted herself as the defining superpower in the world.
Healed her reputation so to speak.
Yes we have the Nukes. It has been the fear we had the guts to follow through that has prevented the events witnessed Tuesday from happening.
Yes it is an ugly, ugly thing. Rewind to Tuesday, repeat.Rewind to Tuesday, Repeat
