Nothing even close to MAD. It's completely one-sided. The USA has a
'retaliation in kind' policy. If a sovereign nation uses WMDs against us,
our stated policy is to strike back with WMDs--nukes, most likely, in our
case. Iran can bluster and bandy about thermonuclear threats all it
wants,
but I suspect even Amadhinijad is wise enough to realize he cannot
compete.

Nah, I guess nothing like MAD...just a nuke or two in a major US
city...nothing to worry about, you can always strike back...that'll
negate the original strike won't it!

Hardly. It would destroy the US economy for a decade or more, especially if
it were NYC or Chicago. They can have LA for all I care. g

But it's not MAD. The USA will persevere. Iran will vanish. And depending
upon how ****ed the President (whomever that may be at the time) and
Congress are at the time, half the Middle East may go with Iran.
