retaliation is idiotic. we would just have to humbly accept we got nuked and find the people who did it and eliminate them. in kind ratliation would not make things right, it wouldnt sooth the outrage, and more importantly we would alienate everyone in the world period. we wouldnt have 1 billion people mad at us, we'd have 5 billion plus. no one in the world save a few loony countries would view nuclear genocide as an acceptable reaction to terrorist action. you can proceed to have the united states become an island of a nation and be excluded from the world economic growth. also, there are many people here that would be outraged at a use of a nuke.
