I think we need to add "unless the rotary club was bombed first".

One of the things that make it SOOO important to keep nukes out of these 
maniac's hands is that, as we have seen in the past 3 1/2 years since 9/11, 
there's NO one THING to strike back at. So... if AQ somehow managed to nuke 
a city in the US, what would they do? I mean what would they REALLY do? 
Short of nuking the ENTIRE Middle East and large parts of many other 
countries [you know, to make sure they get ALL OF THEM], what is their 
plan? Do they have one? What IS the strategic position taken in that 
particular scenario. [my attempt at the political parlance].
