If we multi-megaton nuked the middle east,how long would it take for the orange trees to recover? I'm very fond of Outspan oranges and would hate to see them dissappear from my supermarket shelves.I like their grapefruit too, so it is important we make the right decision.

Peace@Iran (nice joke name by the way)
Can you stop shouting please,we're civilised over here and we don't listen to you anyway.

really, a nuke has a relatively small area of effect, so long as we nuked no where within 100 miles of your citrus groves and the winds were right, they'd be fine.

Well, actually it is longer than 7 years. Depending on how close the nuke goes off. But when it does you will not be worring about your oranges. You'll be worring about how to get a bike because the gas is too expensive.
Learn to can and save your oranges becase the nuclear strike will be on or before Sept. 12, 2006.

Don't sweat it H.
I'm sure a man of your wisdom realises we haven't kept a foothold in Cyprus for nothing.
It's not to keep the Bubbles and Camel shaggers apart either.
look on google Earth and you/ll see the many square miles the British Government has planted with your favourites.
Satsumas too for Christmas. Jaffas for Tory politicians.
Bomb away while the wind's blowing towards Egypt, no problem
We could always annex Cuba in a couple of weeks anyway, as long as Bush doesn't get there first.

The scenario for a nuclear strike would run something like this: One or both sides has nuclear weapons, the side that feels they are losing pulls out the nukes as a last resort...
If Hezbollah had nukes, they'd probably use them first. If Israel got desperate, they would use them first.
In any case, I doubt that the USA would feel desperate enough to push the button.

The exposure to radiation would probably mutate the fruit. Can you imagine oranges that tasted like bananas or passion fruit the size of a football. As far as I see it's win win. If does not work out we can always get oranges from other countries so worth a gamble.

peace@Iran you make some good points in your rant. However openness is not on the agenda for the present rulers of Iran. Bush may decide to bomb. The moment Iran has a weapon capable of attacking Israel or a Western nation, I think a few may sadly press the button.

Don't worry the University of Calif School of Agriculture in Riverside has the World Orange living archive.
Orange groves can be reestablished

What makes you think that the situation is serious enough to require a nuclear weapon to neutralize the opposition forces? Please, get real. While the Middle-East is a pain in the butt, it does not rise to that threat level.
