Do tell, what would be the appropriate retaliation for a mushroom cloud in a major US city?
A. Petition the UN for redress against the gentlemen who have a disagreement with the US
B. Nuk-u-larize several Middle Eastern cities so the public feels better
C. "Retaliation" is the wrong concept to begin with, and exactly the feel-good concept I'm talking about. A large-scale attack on the US must be prevented at all costs. Any level of pre-emption is necessary to avoid this sort of thing.
