    I'll never forget a certain "man on the street" interview that was done during the War on Terror, where they found a surprisingly high number of people who said we should just indiscriminately nuke the Middle East. I think American nuclear bloodthirst is as old as American nukes, and the only thing that's prevented us from nuking anyone since 1945 has been realpolitik.
