Subject: Question about UK and France
Jerry W. Loper    3/25/2004 8:44:43 AM
UK and France both have nukes. I know both the U.S. and Israeli have nukes and have been the targets of major terrorist attacks and have not used their nukes, but if UK or France got hit with a really big 9/11 or Madrid-like terrorist attack (say, in London, a strike that kills 3,000 people and knocks down Big Ben, or in Paris, a strike that kills 3,000 people and knocks down the Eiffel Tower), if the UK or France could locate the perps and the perps could be taken out with a tactical nuke without killing a lot of innocent bystanders, would that be a possibility?

I think if it was up to Musharraf, the madrassahs would be long gone, and with them the teachers of the Taliban. So no, we weren't able to completely uproot the Taliban's supporters in Pakistan, though they were dealt a pretty heavy blow--the restructuring of the ISI was a help. Still, having reduced the Taliban to a marginal group at best is worth something, and having done something is better than doing nothing. As far as putting Afghanistan back together, I think that's going to be tougher than Iraq. Their national pastime since the Brits tried doing something with them has been killing each other. Still, the enormously successful elections there last fall are a big step in the right direction, and I think the Afghani people are willing to make a go at democracy--nothing else has worked for them. They are a tough, proud people, and we could have worse allies.

>>Hey AK, pal, dont forget, our big man in the oval office, good old GWB and his dad are best buddies with old Osamas family. Who is running this great country? Our enemys friends!<< I thought the Bushies were the neo-con tools of Likud Zionists. I wish you brainless leftists would find a position and stick with it.
