So what should happen if a bunch of CIA extremists topple a democratically-elected South American government or sell weapons to a foreign enemy nation so as to raise cash for a bunch of right-wing anti-democratic revolutionaries?
Langley*, you're radioactive glass.
* I couldn't bring myself to follow Gibor's example and advocate the nuking of all American cities.

So far, so good.
Then you fucked it all up.
So, "Gibor", you then advocate that after the Oklahoma City Bombings, it would have been VERY GOOD to vaporize all US states involved with the domestic terrorists using nuclear weapons?
Timothy McVeigh was born in New York -> Goodbye New York!
Mohammed Atta was from Saudi Arabia. So was Osama Bin Laden. If you vapourised Saudia Arabia, millions of people who are already suffering under an oppressive regime would be killed, by a country that should be helping them.
Also there wouldn't be any oil... it would all go up in a massive fireball and black out the atmosphere with smoke (worldwide), possibly doubling the atmospheric CO2 level.
Thirdly, due to the destruction of Islam's holy nation and holiest sites, every radicalised muslim would be obliged to avenge. And millions more muslims worldwide would radicalise in response. Iran would increase it's Uranium enrichment program, with one very obvious goal in mind. North Korea would see the USA weakened.
And that is just for starters.
So that's why you are bombing Saudi Arabia into oblivion! Oh wait...
Let's say that an Arab city has already been attacked and thousands of people killed by American soldiers dropping bombs. Under those circumstances, vaporizing each and every nation that was involved would be good! VERY GOOD! Or, ya know, not. It never ends, see, because then those nations want to retaliate, and the countries that are harmed in that wave is going to retaliate in their turn.

So why are you and your ilk so opposed to Iran's own nuclear ambitions, again...?!
Not for nothing was Obama awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Mainly for preventing Sarah Failin getting her moose-guts-slick claws on The Button. She believes in the (C)Rapture. You do the maths.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
