Rand Corp Was Right to Advise Use of Nuclear Weapons in Middle East

Before the war in the Middle East and after 9-11, the Rand Corp had advised that our response should be with Thermo Nuclear Weapons and for total annihilation to send a message to our enemies and future enemies that the United States is off limits to attack. And that if you do attack us you, your nation, genetic heritage and Culture will be wiped off the plant. We did not listen to them, but in hindsight it might have been the best choice. Of course this is not Politically Correct to say, but it might have persuaded North Korea and Iran to change their nuclear weapons policy upon seeing the devastation and one could almost guarantee it would prevent a war against the United States for at least two and a half decades. Now instead we have Jihadists threatening us and planning to attack us.

Rand clearly seems to show that military superiority and defense of a nation needs to be entrusted to capitalists and entrepreneurial visionaries with a sense of nationalism, rather than the bureaucracy and bull shit provided by inefficiency of government. And they are correct. If Rand Corp is honest then they also realize, as I have seen in many of their papers, that Carl von Clauswitz has a lot of important things to say in "reciprocal response" and total annihilation of an enemy, that indeed are to be considered and not so easily dismissed.

Other scholars have indicated that;
