I tought you were responding to my post above.
If we would bomb Mecca after every carbomb the hole would be pretty big.

I still disagree because, as I said, the idea of preselecting a city merely because of its religious influence is tactically, strategically, and politically inflexible and irresponsible.

Also, if you make that declaration you are unwittingly saying, "well, it's okay if you stick to conventional suicide bombers but if you go nuclear, it's on".

It's these types of things that makes the politics of the presidency too complicated for amateurs, even those with good ideas. Every single statement you make has to be looked at from 100s of perspectives.
