What if scenario? Another attack on American soil?

Question

When the twin towers fell, Americans were almost entirely united in our patriotism and the desire to take action to defend ourselves.

What if, islamic fascist were able to detonate an atomic device on American soil, killing tens of thousands?

Could another attack on American soil be orchestrated in such a way that it would create division within to the point of another civil war rather than an outpouring of destruction on other nations?

Answer 1

Those who now discount the war on terror and seek to grant rights to terrorists would pay a heavy price. Islamics in This country would likely bear the brunt of righteous anger and finally the fence sitters would get the fact that we are in a war that must be won

Answer 2

notice how that patriotism only lasted a few days. and its not all Islamic people who believe in killing all people who oppose them. Islam has the highest religious population in the world so ofcourse people who believe in terrorism are probably going to be islamic but wasnt there some christians that committed mass suicide awhile back? people dont think of christians being suicidal all the time. and yes if there was a Nuclear Device detonated on american soil i would probably join the military if not killed by the radiation or explosion

Answer 3

The results would be devestating for the entire world, especially the islam. tens of thousands of americans would die, millions would be affected by the aftermath of the bomb...

but I'm thinking that would barely be a fraction of the repurcussions that the islamic community would face.

Not only america but dozens of developed nations would wage ruthless a ruthless war on terrorism and anyone who might even look islamic

I'm not even exaggerating when i say this, It would be genocide

It would be the worst loss of human life since the second world war

I only hope i wouldn't live to see it.

Answer 4

Iran, Syria, parts of Pakistan, would be destroyed. Hezbollah and Hamas would be destroyed . North Korea - GONE.

This of course is a nightmare scenario - but if America gets nuked - it's game over for about 5 or 6 countries.

And make no mistake - we would annihilate anyone that tried to stop us.

Answer 5

If someone really wanted to do that they'd be going to manhattan straight up, millions die. After that America would go to war against Pakistan and since afghanistan is right next door, it'd be no problem, Bush would be removed from office following his refusal to bomb pakistan, he will then move to pakistan then get caught by American forces, smoking hashesh and everything.

Answer 6

if another attack happens on the usa, then i would say that the proper reaction by the nation would be use our most powerful asset as our primary weapon.

that would be our economy.

oh, and any on either side of the political spectrum who try to use this to get elected or point fingers should be shot on sight...

Answer 7

I'd say that the "war on terror" wasn't going so good.

Answer 8

end of world..........

Answer 9

ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE!!!
