Think about this for a minute, we're talking about the deaths of tens of millions followed by similar death tolls with each subsequent incident; we'd have no choice but to strike back in kind, even if somewhat blindly. Our only other option would be to simply roll over and die.

The reason the cold war never turned hot is because all the players were fully aware that such an outcome would result in the total extinction of human life within their own borders.

The governments in the middle east need to understand that those rules have not changed and that it would therefore be in their own best interests to ensure that none of their citizens precipitate WWIII.


It's my guess that in the long run the world has a slightly better than even chance of avoiding such a fate.
