Why Not Nuke Mecca?

A US congressman said retaliation against Islamic holy sites was a possible scenario if terrorists detonated nuclear bombs in the US. The world reacts. Now, what makes an elected representative of the people think that mass killings by nuking sites that are holy to billions of people is an appropriate way to counter terrorism?

Fear, it is fear that makes anyone want to hit back harder and in this case it says a lot about this congressman’s capabilities as a leader. I wish he would just go away. If there are micro-atoms on the market, let’s nuke his balls.
