This is a purely hypothetical question, but having viewed the history of America over the last few months I am wondering if the West has gone soft in it's attitde to the Middle East? Given the current complications, would it not be easier for the West to simply 'nuke' the whole of the Middle East, wiping out all of the global terrorist threat in one fell swoop, than to continue in this grotesque 'War On Terror'? There is no doubting that terrorists are currently looking to acquire the technology to attempt a 'first strike' on the Western Allies. Is it not worth considering, for global peace and security, that the West makes a pre-emptive strike against it's enemies? They say that history is written by the victor. In that context is not worth the risk of simply wiping outthe whole of the Middle East to achieve that objective?
