I respect you oppinion Breu adv, but you have to realise that any president who uses nukes in the manner which you describe, regardless of the end results, is going to be commiting political suicide. Within a few months there would be armed revolution in the streets. (not necissarily a bad thing IMO) And that is only provided that the other nuclear powers of the world don't jump the gun when they see a gaggle of US ICBMs headed in their general direction, and launch a friendly nuclear hello up our collective US asses.
