Emergency workers have been pulled back from the 54-story building, home to American Express, and smoke was seen coming from the windows, said CNN Producer Adam Reiss, who was on the scene.

i wouldn't think that places like Afganistan would have Nukes. they r really poor.
These days Nukes are seen as a retaliatory weapon only, if someone uses them on you you use them back. To use them for anything else other than bringing everyone down with you would be foolish since they could do untold damage not only to nearby innocent countries but to the environment of the world too.
A funny thing was said to me recently and while we're on the subject of nukes I may as well bring it up. Anyone remember Hiroshima? Was it not the Americans who wanted to test a nuclear device in real life conditions so they chose a target for which it was totally unnecessary and killed thousands if not hundreds of thousands of innocent people who were in a country that was no longer a threat. It's funny though, how everyone is calling this the worst man made disaster when the Americans themselves used a nuclear weapon on a real city. now technically that isn't a disaster since it was deliberate but so was the terrorist attack and while Hiroshima may have been in war time it was totally unnecessary to attack let alone nuke them. Was there really all this fuss over the business at Hiroshima? It's a fair point though, perhaps the Americans will have learned how terrible such a disaster is (if they needed to) and maybe they'll start to see the wrongs they have done in the past (Vietnam included). Yes it's a terrible thing and everything and I don't deny that but the Americans maybe are being a little hypocritical. I don't remember it being this big. All this over the top retaliation business only worries me more.
Of course the chances of nuclear war are slim, a nuclear power would have to get involved (though who says they aren't already). The thing that worries me is that people are still more than willing to kill, even if innocents die, just for revenge. They might end up as bad as the terrorists.

Whilst just watching the news, I discovered this website that appealed to me (Joke): www.nukebinladen.com. This is a very seriouse website about what actions are going to be taken and what we should expect.

I think the attacks in the US were seen as an attack on every democracy on the planet.
We must remember that a large number of the dead came from countries other than the US.
Today i heard that my daughters friends Aunt was on the second plane that hit the WTC. So it goes to show that a lot of us could be affected by this and not just the Americans.
Although the attacks in Ireland are aimed at civilians they might be seen as attacks on a single country, from inside, and not the entire UN.
Lets just hope that the UN can keep the US under control and not let them run rampant throughout the middle east.
The terrorists are said to be woking out of 34 countries so routing them out will take the rest of the worlds intelligence resources not brute force.
The talks about nuclear weapons are just ridiculous. No democratic country would use these, unless in self defense, because of fear of reprisals.
We have to remember that the Afgans are heavily supported by Pakistan who are too Muslims.
Pakistan has shown us that is has nuclear weapons.
I remember the Falklands war and the Gulf war in detail, yes i know i must be old. These are times that i wish my children never see. To expose our young children to war changes them for life. In the 80's we lived under the constant worry of a nuclear war. This was terrifying.
I just hope to god that this doesn't happen to us.
