1. A nuclear detonation, in the air, underwater, space, or underground will emitt radiation energy that can be detected by almost all civilized nations, and would be nearly impossable to hide. These sensors, which are aboard sataltes in space, are so sensitive, they can detect radiation sorurces at hospitals,
2. Believe it or not, nuclear weopons are traceable. Experts can tell by studying residual radiation from the area, the origin, and manufacure of the weopon.
This would be political suicide on the world stage, for the US. ( regardless of who the target was)
3. Nukes are not cheap.... One must consider the rationality of expending a nuclear device, along with all the baggage that will go along with it, for a couple of terroists who decided to hole up in an underground bunker.
4. Nukes are a weopon of last last resort, only when there is absolutly no other option, period. They were built to never be used. There is no reason, or justification of using a nuke, when US forces clearly demenstated their ability to land marines, or seals anywhere they wanted in those countries, including tora bora. There is no place in iraq, or ganastan that cant be targeted by conventinal weopons.
One exeption to this will be irans nuclear facilities. .... If israel or us ever decide to take them out, nukes will be used to enshure total and complete destruction.
