I saw Enemy of the State for the first time the other day, it was a good movie and actually made me think about some of the issues...like for example, I knew the US government has the Echelon project which listens to all telephone calls from all over the world, but I never knew it was so bad From what I hear, the national security budget has been increased recently by about $60 billion over the next few years, which shows that there is a real threat from what they call "rogue" nations...
So my question is this: if a terrorist from any nation somehow managed to smuggle a nuke into the US, AND detonate it in a big metropolis like Washington or New York (ok it does seem a bit far fetched, but even the government seems to admit that the threat exists), what would the reaction be??? They would probably look for someone to blame, and say they pinpointed the famous Ossama Bin Laden, would they go and nuke the hell out of Afghanistan?? How would Russia and China react, World War III???
