The other problem is that you want to set daily U.S. policy based on a nuclear attack on two U.S. metropolises. Serious question, what if all policy was set that way? That would be really odd don't you think?

no. it would not be odd. it would be prudent. disasters are unpredictable & unpredicted. all the major military attacks on the the US since 1898 have been surprises. unaccounted asteroids are passing the earth only weeks before discovery. the 03 NE power outage was not predicted, nor was the 1906 quake, or the 2004 tsunami. Warren buffet is a bright guy whose predictions are pretty good. He says a nuclear attack within 50 years is inevitable. If you think about it, a nuclear attack is as obvious as flying planes into buildings. With north korea, pakistan, iran not being all that stable, it is just a matter of time. Every WMD created has been used on a civilian population. Its only a question of when & how the next major destabilizer of society comes about. & there are a lot more people with a lot more to lose today then in the past.
