... particularly that Pakistan is not the most respected neighbor on the Global block, and since they are now killing medical UN workers who are trying to administer life-saving vaccinations to their children, simply because that is how our wonderful CIA chose to use the Dr to get bin Laden's DNA. But defend nuking them? Number one, I can't go that far, because the effects of a nuke would be catastrophic to more than Pakistanis. Too much blowback. And Number two, because nukes should NEVER be used, period. There is NO justification for the use of nukes, as long as words come out of our mouths.
