How droll Greg F.

Nice to hear that Raggy believes that Islamic Fundamentalism is a problem.

As far as that and those who may support them goes, the last thing Chirac in France did was to reconfigure the weapons load on France's SSBNs - four missile tubes are now loaded with "Tactical" warheads in case some state decides to back the "extremists" - Iran has already been given the warning.

Of course nuclear weapons are not meant to deter any terrorist attack. They will as explained above deter any country with any idea of supporting some terrorist organisation with nuclear ambitions George W Bush while he was President of the United States stopped in their tracks secret nuclear weapons programmes in Iran, Syria and Libya - by the bye just in case anybody misses the significance of that, the only reason you hide and create a secret nuclear weapons programme is that you fully intend to use those weapons, because if secret they serve no purpose as a deterrent.

Al Qaeda is now almost irrelevant, since their spectacular in 2001 they have achieved nothing.

ISIS have been on the back foot for the last 12 months. The threat of their "lone wolf attacks" represent their last dying throws and they fully realise that. As an organisation they are going nowhere and they know it.
