Do you think that a U.S. city will be attacked by a nuclear bomb in the next 50 years?

Probability, most likely, beating the odds, or shall we look to Murphy for an answers?  I say, we look to the tenets of Murphy, namely:\n\n1, The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:\n-when they're ready.\n-when you're not.\n\n2. Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing.\n\n3. Professional soldiers are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs. \n\n4. Military Intelligence is a contradiction. \n\n5. It's not only predicted that things will go wrong, its mandated by entropy and the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.

If things continue getting better, then I don't think that Baghdad will become the next Hiroshima. Also, if we were to use nuclear weapons, we would be breaking the agreement that no country is to use nuclear power. Also if we were to use it, then I think that it would give North Korea a right to use their, and I don't think that we want North Korea using a missile that can reach the USA. To tell the truth, no one has a clue as to what George Bush will do under pressure.

Eventually, I believe it probably will.  Whether this takes 50 years or 500 is something only time will tell.

Somebody will as the world's existance could easily be at stake. If Iran develops nukes it almost assures WW III will come about inside a decade of them aquiring Nukes. If somebody dosen't all that stood by signs a death warrent for the world.

It would be nice if styles and mores reverted back to the 1950's, but I don't think they will.\n\nIran will probably nuke Jerusalem which will precipitate the total devastation of the muslim middle east and result in the subsequent reassignment of national borders in that region.  \n\nRussia will probably believe that they need to neutralize us before they destroy Israel to end further use of nuclear bombs.\n\nMost people think the "Cold War" ended hostilities between the uSA and the Soviet Union, but I'm sure THEY don't think so.  It's my bet nukes will fly and our coasts will be fried, but our inland areas saved by Patriot missiles.  We'll probably retaliate in kind, cause vast devastation over there, but they have so many bomb shelters, life will go on.\n\nThe results of all the nuclear fallout will replace "global warming" as the rallying cry for environmentalists and they will get the one world government they've always wanted, but they'll find out in short order that it's not the warm & fuzzy grandmother style nanny-state they'd hoped for.  \n\nChina will see all this as an opportunity to leverage their own power-play and they will burst upon the scene with an army of unprecedented size to take whatever land area they can.  \n\nIt gets bumpy from there.

While I cannot predict it, I can make a guess. I believe it will happen during my lifetime, and I'm 59. Look at the "wars and rumors of wars," the earthquakes, etc. Don't know if you believe in the Bible, however, one passage states (to paraphrase), "when the flower blooms in the desert (speaking of Israel), this generation will not pass away until the end of time comes." This refers to Israel becoming a nation... and this is my generation.

after the nuclear war scheduled in next few decade

yes...Look people the next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. That will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships. That will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 Now after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible. Europe will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. After things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place. The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. During these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers. When all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.

TJ Says:\nEarthschoes I seriously believe we will go nuclear. If Iran even thinks about launching, well they know Isreal will blow them off the map. If Iran tries to sneak a nuke in the US and succeeds, well Iran will get wipe off the face of the Earth, even if Russia and China try to stop us.\n\nAnd it looks to me like we are near WW3.\nBRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!

Realistically, humanity will be dead. Sad, but true.\n\nSooner or later a couple of madmen with nukes will bomb everything, and everyone that moves.

Amen brother preach on. They will come and it is going to be beyond belief. Most likely we will be facing a biological or nuclear disaster that will be the worst attack on American soil. You are very right the libs have sided with the terrorists but that will not save them once they are here.\n\nThey just don't get it do they?

There will be no nuclear conflict...look up the numerous scenarios where it nearly happended. People that launch will not launch anything unless the sovereignty of a country is at stake. \n\nEven with a terrorist attack on the continental USA, in whatever form, there will be no nuclear retaliation. Invasions & attacks ok etc yes, but no nuclear bombardment. Not by USA, Israel, or GB etc. Nuclear exchange in Middle East will mean crops will fail in Europe and Asia. How many countries did the Ukrainian nuclear reactor explosion affect years back!!?

Well, I don't know when or if there will be another attack upon the US, but I can pretty much guarantee it won't be using airplanes again.  They're more creative than that, and we're pretty stupid for only really securing THAT type of public transportation.

We need to but out of the worlds business and take care of ours. The world has a police force called the United Nations let them handle it if there is a problem. If things come our way then yes we need to take action.I would say that if things don't come together the next 10 generations aren't going to have much of a world because some country wants to try and blow it up. Radiation isn't a pretty thing to see and can you imagine what the children would look like from the fall out of such a weapon of mass destruction. I am a very firm believer in protecting the HOME FRONT if thing happen, but lets not be the one to start it.

Dont you worry, still about 50000 Odd years left for that!!!And Earthlings will probably perish long before that in a nuclear war!

I sure hope not because a nuclear war isn't exactly my idea of a great time.  Iran has nukes of its own and will not hesitate to use them back.  If we get into a nuclear war, I suggest all you people who live in major cities move out to the country and become farmers or something because you know the major cities will be the first to be hit!  I'm in rural Oklahoma so I'm probably ok, unless Iran suddenly decides that it hates cows and farms.
