It's hardly like the other guys are not -- given the capability. We may get a world war whether or not we want one.
If we get a mushroom cloud or a dirty bomb, how much war is justified then? Shouldn't we simply be denying the opposition this dream, let alone any chance to fulfill it?

Thirty-seven days from landing to "island secured." We won that one.
Tarawa had almost nine hundred dead, and in less time than Iwo. We won that one too.
