More war strategies:

Since we can not write our hate and anger on a piece of ice and wait for the sun to melt it , or wait for an all inclusive global tribunal to educate the world and legitimize all actions as much as possible . The racist terrorists that want our destruction ,as Bush said 'verbatim' today, "have misunderestimateded the United States of America".

I do not underestimate the brazen foolishness of GW. In fact....

I do not think this conflict will remain conventional.

Everyone turned up the volume today. Bush said he wanted bin Laden's blood. The Italian president claimed Western culture is superior to Islamic culture and they deserve to be destroyed. Almost all Pakistanis are said to believe Isreal did the WTC attack to provoke the US to attack Islam in their behalf.

Once one Arab is felled by a US bullet Arabs will claim it to be thousands. Fatwa will ensue no matter what the facts are or how careful the US will try to be. Against the ever increasing waves of zealots the use of US nuclear weapons will seem no more provovative that what we will already be facing. Perhaps this will happen right after another domestic attack against the US.

This will be reason enough to expect terrorism into the future for as long as Jews and Arabs have already been at war. (a verry long time)

Unless there is a miracle of diplomacy... ?

The nukes may be strategic neutron or tiny one kiloton versions to start. After all, China and Pakistan will be watching for a big one.

It sounds like Bush has already put nukes on the table. Anyone willing to say he won't use them within the year? Or do you think he will heed Rumsfeld's advice which is the kind of caution I have been talking about?
