Since the two would come as a matched set, no. I don't want any cities
or any holy shrines or any major population centers to become craters.
I do think there will be no nuclear attacks on American cities. It's
because of the massive retaliation policy. We get nuked it isn't just
other population centers that get nuked in return. It's Mecca. If some
fundie is crazy enough to trigger even that, my heart weeps at the
thought. My hope is that none want that sort of obvious response. It's
also why Jeruselem will never get nuked to not get the same response.
