Just because we have a doctrine that allows us to create a preemptive attack with a nuclear warhead doesn't mean that we will use the biggest nuke in our arsenal. Some of the terrorists bunkers are several hundred feet underground. Mulitple shots with smart bombs can't penetrate that much earth. But with the new bunker busting nuke it will be more than possible.

The danger is that once we cross the line of using nukes "in our modern day" we will be more apt to use bigger an bigger ones as the situation requires. This could cause the U.S. to loose support in any future war resulting in - No Coalition in future conflicts. Not that we couldn't or shouldn't do it alone. But with the liberals we have in Congress it would be dangerous to leave them with that kind of power. They have no discretion and could do whatever, whenever they wanted and the American public would pay the price over the years. In fact the world could start to hate us like they hated Nazi Germany. And if we started acting like Nazi Germany then they would be justified in their anger toward us. But it would be the liberal left that would take us to that point not Conservatives.

As long as we the U.S. stay in power using nukes won't be a problem, but as more and more of our freedoms are taken away by the liberal left and as they continue to weaken our national defenses the more open we will be to an attack.

But it comes down to this. If we are being attacked and our citizens are being killed. Then I see no choice but to bring as much force as we can bear and bring it to the enemy. Crush them as quickly and effeciently as possible with minimal loss of life. That sounds like the recipe for nuke to me.
