This is one reason that we should not allow every country to have Nukes. Not everyone is smart enough to use them as a deterent. Some of them think that a Nuke is the answer to the problem.

If the Terrorists use anything it will be a dirty bomb. At this time I think that it would be tough for them to get and use a true nuke.

Of course not, ideological differences would get in the way. If they tried to they'd end up backstabbing each other.

Perosnally I think the only side dumb enough to use a nuclear weapon would have to be Terrorists. North Korea had the chance to launch a nuclear weapon but fortunately Kim Jong Hill (spelling?) had been convinced not to. Face it: Any country that uses a nuclear weapon is going to... Well in lay mans terms: Get ganged up on.

I think Kim Jong Il is crazy, but not crazy enough to fire a nuke on the US, even if he could reach us. He has nukes already. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a nutjob that by nature of the current situation in the Middle East would shoot one at us as soon as possible. The only thing is, he would not shoot it at the US mainland, but at Israel. He can reach there a lot easier than he could the US. The terrorists would use a dirty bomb because it is easier to make and can be disguised a lot easier. Getting it here would be the tough part for them. As for other groups, I am not sure who could or would.

i don't think we have to worry so much about a recognized sovereign nation sending nukes our way, they know it would mean TOTAL annihilation in retaliation, terrorists however have the fact that they don't belong to or operate out of just one nation.
just my 2 common cents

Trapper,

This is very true, but if there were anyone most likley to cause an accidental launch or screw up a test, I would have to go with Kim Jong Il. This guy is a certified idiot.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would definatley go after Israel first, and if he had addional arms, he would almost assuridly strike ANY U.S. target within range.

Terrorist's, well that one is hard to say. If they had or obtained some form of nuclear capability, even in a small way, with the limited long range intel we have, hard to guess where they would go first. They seem to have so many targets. They don't like anyone not in thier group.

There are folks way more of a threat to us out there. We know they -korea iran al qeda- only think about it , the ones we should worry about are those we dont know have nuke capabilities,and there has to be some American hatin maggot there who has the goods and wouldnt hesitate to take a shot at us.

I think we have very little to fear from Kim Jong Il. The reason I say that is he pulled one of the crappiest countries when the game started. Almost no resources, very little arible land and poverty ridden to boot. How does your country survive how do you feed the citizens when you barely grow enough just to feed government workers and the military. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. You have to trade something for food. I think he plays the role very well and is doing a great job. (as his role dictates) I have a sneaking suspicion that his goal if for the US to invade put up a token resistance then let the US foot the bill to make the country great. It is what I would do. I have spoken to a couple guys from the war college and put forth this idea they pretty much laughed and agreed with me. That is why we acknowledge the axis of evil but don't do crap about him. China has stated that they don't want anything to do with N Korea now either as it would put a very serious damper on their growth and GNP

Iran might just be making nukes just to scare the US and try to show of their so called military strength.

If any of the lot, I would expect the terrorists to use a Nuclear Weapon first. I think the issue for them would be to get the Weapon to the US, because they would not want to use it anywhere but on the soil of us Non-Believers.

I'll just say that I hope and pray that none of them try to attack us with any kind weapon of mass destruction. I have every bit of faith in our Military ~ to keep us safe ~ in the likelihood that they do try, anyways!

After thinking about it I might have to say France. Why france you ask.
Historical constant unstable government.
who knows why france does anything any how.
Best defense is a good offense so nuke them now.

For some reason I think of Russia, but it is highly unlikely. I know they couldn't take us in an open war, but what about just trying to blow us all up and we wouldn't suspect them because most people think they aren't anything anymore, when really in the past ten years they have been rebuilding their military. They still don't have anything on us, but just maybe.....
Just my two cents.:2cents:
