I'll agree with you on part of this one although I don't think anyone has ever said they "want" to nuke us. Well, maybe someone in Al Quaeda or other terrorist group but that's a different thread. Anyhow, our government is like the playground bully, we only pick on those that have no chance against us. If there's any percieved chance that we could get a bloody nose we head the other way.
