I live in NYC so I'd be fucking dead or badly injured and so would most of my family.
I wouldn't think two seconds about giving a thumbs up to turn the entire Middle East and Pakistan into a glass bowl.
the levels of anger and need for 'revenge' and 'justice' would be so great that we would HAVE to put a whole world of hell on someone just to satisfy our thirst for vengance, so SOMEONE would get pretty much destroyed no doubt. even if no one country could be blamed, a nation would get destroyed. maybe we would have the balls then to turn Mecca into a crater.
There would be a distinct chemical signature which would point out the nation that built the weapon, correct?
We would promptly obliderate that nation, and right-fucking-fully so.
Are you guys ignorant? I said in this scenario the Terroists have bought the "ingredience" from the black market, the uranium and all the chemicals they stole from a US lab *(what the f**k do I know) ::) just imagine there is no country to blame.
Fact is...I don't want to discuss here what the US Military would do if NY would be nuked... my question is what would happen world wide on an financial cultural and civil level.
I hope I don't see the usuall.. we gonna nuke them back... the word is comming to an end etc....
There are many on this board who have great understanding and view of the world around them...
Please try to rationalice your ideas what would happen if:
Tomorrow 14:00 a nuclear device is detonated in NY City, an Islamic Terror Organisation confesses to this attack, the US and the world is stunned, there are absolutely no links to any country the group that has committed this dreadfully act has operated alone the device has been build by buying the necessary components on the black market.
I say again.. this was NOT a dirty bomb this was a nuclear bomb and most of NY and his population is dead or dying.
What do you believe the world wide consequences would be like? What would happen next? Do you believe the world as we know it is comming to an end? Say so but explain why? Are we just going to "close" NY City and call it a massgrave and move on?
All I can say is Bauer would be uber pissed.
(Have you seen the season six trailers? Jack Bauer has a Grizzly Adams' beard! Bauer's beard > Axis of Evil)
Bauer would have stopped 9/11, thrown Osama off a building, talked sadaam out of WMD then killed him anyway, and fixed the economy in exactly one day.
The world needs more jack bauers.
Chuck Norris would have done better ;)

You know the US will not just randomly nuke another country, certain people have still to much to loose, we could split hair here and maybe discuss the option that the US is blaming another country for this attack and than nuke them.yes we damn well would! if new york city got nuked into glowing ash do you have any idea of the magnitude of craziness that would take place? the bloodlust of the public, and all members of the government top to bottom would be off the charts....we would simply HAVE to retaliate SOMEHOW against SOMEONE. we would find some sort of link to some nation, probably iran or something, like some trace elements originated there or something.
But there is no way that the US Government is agreeing to "just" nuke Mekka, or "just" nuke the Iran, it's not going to happen.
What would be the concequences money wise?

bottom line is, someone would get a hell of bombs rained on them within a month.
