#1 "If you do not stop killing our people, we will drop hundreds of pounds of bombs on empty swatches of desert everywhere."

#2 I really think that Israel needs to drop a few atomic bombs in Gaza. They should borrow a few from US unless US has a self defeating policy. All this tit for tat policy will never work. The barbarians will never understand the civilized language. The best way is to talk to those who survived. You will have not much to do if none survived.

#3 Nuclear weapons in Gaza would be like burning down your house - and spreading longlasting poison on the site - to get rid of a serious termite infestation.

#4 I don't think harrowing up empty fields is the right answer to rocket attacks. Why should the Palestinians stop if there's no real cost to their little games?

#5 Agreed, tw. But casual talk about nuclear strikes is not the answer IMO.

#6 Of course, lotp. Why use nukes, when the result can be obtained so much more easily with a few chemical missiles (or whatever is used).

#8 Al-Aska Paul has always said: shut off all power and water - message sent, then ramp up from there with building-clearing artillery moving the no-go-zone back a mile or two

#9 People that suggest that someone be nuked usually have no idea what that means. Those of us who were keepers of the fire during the cold war prayed every day that we would never have to use them. The following site contains the unclass version of The Effects of Nuclear Weapons http://www.cddc.vt.edu/host/atomic/nukeffct/#EONW77

This book came with a circular slide rule for calculating blast effects. If you are too young to know what a slide rule is, you probably don't know jack about nukes either. Peruse this site and think before you open your mouth the next time you are tempted to say "nuke 'em".

#12 What about "tactical mini Nukes"?
Cummon, throw us a bone.

#13 For bunker busting? I don't know enough about them to have an opinion.

#14 The problem is that our Cold War nukes are too big.
