Know your enemy, and then what?

[Gary Heuston]

seriously doubt the US will go to a nuclear strike here...while it could easily
be done and it would pretty much end the problem in a few minutes, the fallout
would affect the neigboring countries and they would be a bit less than pleased
with that...
The biggest worry when it comes to Nuclear weapons is a Nuclear Winter...thats
when so many Nuclear weapons have been detonated that the ash and dust thrown up
actually obscures the sun and causes a blackout condition on Earth, essentially
killing off all life...I don't remember how many would have to be thrown for
this to happen, but it is a lot.

More than likely we are looking at a conventional weapon strike or a ground
attack.
