Too many innocent people...and if we gave them 24 hours to evacuate do
you really think they wouldn't retaliate by nuking Israel? And do you
think either Russia or CHina is going to sit back and allow that to
happen or not take similar measures to us if we did such a thing? THis
isn't like Japan...other people have nukes now and what that would cause
is a mass chain reaction ...we would, of course, win the battle becasue
we have the superior firepower, butwe would lose the war with the
world...whatever respect we now have would go down the drain...and we
would be responsible for massive destruction on the earth, polluting the
air streams, water, etc. And qwe would certainly have global warming
after such an event....
