It's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when" (page 2)

Does anybody remember the made-for-TV movie 'The Day After' that ABC showed back in the 80's? It was about nuclear war and it scared the CRAP out of me. I wish I had never seen that, it made a powerful impression on me.

The economic fallout - just how bad would it be? People shooting each other in the streets over a crust of bread?

It makes me so sad that there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people in the world, that if you put a button in front of them and told them that if they pressed it every last man woman and child in the USA would instantly die, that there would be no hesitation, they wouldn't be able to press it fast enough.

Radical, militant Islamists or a "rogue state" like N. Korea will eventually succeed in nuking one or more American cities.

What makes North Korea a 'Rogue State'?

In my opinion, I do not believe for a second that any nation has a game plan of nuking the US, if people think that, the propoganda to make them paranoid has worked. I think the countries who seek nuclear weapon do so for reasons much much closer to home, and in a deterrent capacity, not for a first strike on some country 10,000 miles away.

I will say this though, where these nuclear states are not a threat to the US, one guy with one nuclear weapon is.

Ah, this is why we should be building up our homeland defense, support among our allies and not fighting wars half way across the world. Our borders are so pourous and there is still no check in place to deal with shipping freight at our harbors and ports. To top things off, our towns and cities have no money to buy the equipment and supplies that would be needed to deal with just such an attack. Sadly, I think it will take another attack to address these weaknesses.

koolaid, anyone?

Don't drink the coolaide, sheesh. The govt is hoping for something major, imo. Clark gave it away, when he said martial law, that's police state. Remeber where the anthrax 'attacks' came from? Of course you don't. Why not check out the anthrax source for yourself?

i really do agree that i don't think there is anyone crazy enough to nuke the US. The United States has the most nuclear weapons (documented), and if anyone decided to nuke the US, then George Dubya would nuke the whole world. I remember back in the 50's and 60's that the US alone had enough nuclear explosives to blow up the world 4 times.....and that doesn't include russia.

as far as a dirty bomb goes, that would be extremely rare i believe. It would be easier for bin Laden to just jack a few more airplanes, and it would cause a lot more damage.

the biggest threat....the french! french won't support the US in anything, and eventually the next president or two is going to get pissed and start some shiz....

The French don't scare me. Osama does though.

Hey Osama! Can't we all just get along??!!! LOL

you're actually right ges =D men w/ power are drunk, crazy and stupid. ya gotta take risks to get that kind of power...kinda reminds me of a joke that i read earlier.

There was a genie, an englishman, and a frenchman. The genie told each of them that they could have one wish. The Frenchman wished that the genie put a wall around all of France, so nothing could get in, and nothing could get out. So the Englishman asked the genie the dimensions of the wall. The genie said it was 100 Feet high and 100 Feet thick, and went all the way around France. Then the Englishman made his wish, "Fill the motherf@#*$r with water"

heheheehehehe
