as if america cares about israel.
I care about Israel.
No need for John HSOG to reply. He already posted this (presumably The Yankee is a muslim, correct?).
No, McFly, TheYankee lives in NYC and in our hypothetical situation, NYC was destroyed by a nuclear terrorist attack.
Ah OK then.
At least Hitler only managed to kill 6 million where John is advocating genocide against a billion. So I don't think comparing to Hitler is in the same league really.
Hitler did it for no other reason that political and social unity. I would do it to stop and prevent the genocide of my countrymen. Again, if I have the choice of wiping out Islam or having my country wiped out, guess which one I am going to choose.
Your average dumb air-dropped gravity bomb would fit in your standard shipping container, right? With room enough to modify the fuse to fire on timer or pager call rather than altimeter?
To start, no. The type of gravity bombs that Pakistan likely has have to be armed with a trigger that is perishable. Nuclear weapons use several varieties of triggers, but all of them have a definite shelf life. Only the more advanced nations such as the United States, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom have the technology to produce these triggers, so if a nuke were to be used, it would have to come from one of these nations if it were to travel in a container ship. The best that they could do without it is produce a dirty bomb. Even so, IIRC, more than 90 percent of our ports screen for radioactive cargo.
Beyond that, I said that whatever the source of the weapons of mass destruction that were used on the US as well as Pakistan's nuclear arsenal would be attacked and destroyed. Furthermore, the strengthened border security measures that I would take and the fact that we wouldn't trade with Pakistan in the event of a major WMD terrorist attack would negate this threat.
Was it? You said you are willing to commit genocide against the Muslims. Now answer the question. Do you also advocate in that situation arresting and killing Muslims who are American citizens?
At this point, within our hypothetical situation, it would not be necessary to do anything more than confine Muslims and deport those who are not citizens. Beyond that, I don't think that executing them would be necessary. Long-term confinement or, ultimately, deportation may become necessary, but killing them is not necessary.
Errr. How is Pakistan going to reach the target? I dont think they have a delivery vehicle with the range to reach Israel....
Having a nuke isnt quite enough....you have to get it to your target as well....
I just looked this up and it would appear that Israel is about twice the range of Pakistans longest range strategic missile.
There are rumors that Israel is either in the process of developing or has developed the Jericho 3 missile, an intercontinental version of the Jericho 2, with enough of a range (4,800 Km / 3,000 Miles) to hit targets throughout Europe and the western half of Russia.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has been working on some missiles, but I am thus far not aware of any successful test with a dummy nuclear warhead attached. I am pretty sure that they can only use conventional warheads.
