Haven't dirty bombs been debunked by now as impractical and of limited effect? I think your apocalyptic view of the future is a bit theatrical.All that is necessary for evil members to succeed is that good members post nothingComment

Those and the homeland responsible would be turned to a lump of glass in 24 hours... That's why we've got them as a deterrent and my goodness if those treehuggers got their way we'd be shot of them and back to throwing stonesComment

Originally posted by wendigo100We might laugh at 1000 years, but even one year is bad enough. How do you clean up all radioactive dust sprayed through the air over a square mile or so, when a single small particle of plutonium can be enough to provide someone with cancer? Who would want to go there?You are confusing Al Qua'eda and their like with a sovereign nation. A dirty (and especially a nuclear) bomb is exactly the sort of spectacular that would attract these groups. You cannot simply bomb Iraq or Saudi in response. Suppose the bombers themselves come from Leeds? Why do you think we didn't bomb Dublin or Belfast each time the IRA let off a bomb?
The war our government is trying to wage can only be won if every last fundamentalist has forced departure from this earth asap, that’s surly an impossible task for any group especially as one as large as our lustrous leader reins, no this war can only be solved at the individual level and that will take decades.Last edited by scooterscot; 22 June 2007, 23:45."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

Originally posted by scooterscotMy retort was more emotion than sense designed only to equal the question in which it was responding too. Of course I don’t believe my suggestion would be a likely outcomealthough at the same time I could neither compare the IRA with a fundamentalist Islamic group either. At least with the IRA you got a phone call and 6 – 10 minutes before a major incident.
In fact, it could be said that Ireland was a more valid target for retaliatory bombing than anywhere to do with al qua'eda. The IRA were Irish (mostly Ulster), their cause was overtly a united Ireland, and furthermore, the Irish government went many years implicitly supporting them, by allowing them free rein of their border country and not directly criticising them.The war our government is trying to wage can only be won if every last fundamentalist has forced departure from this earth asap, that’s surly an impossible task for any group especially as one as large as our lustrous leader reins, no this war can only be solved at the individual level and that will take decades.
The world is getting more crowded, which will increase fighting over land, hearts and minds. Technology is improving and becoming more accessible to terrorists. A cataclysmic event like a nuclear bomb might focus minds and quieten it down for a few years, but not forever.Comment

I fear there is very little we can do now, like animals in the wild we can both prey and be hunted what a sad prospect for such an intelligent being."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
