and even if terrorists get their hands on an ICBM,
what country is going to allow it to be launched from
their territory, knowing US Surveillance satellites will
spot the launch, range teh site and direct a punishing
counter-blow?

I can state with some certainty the US JCS will not differentiate
between the Red March Liberation front of Allah and the Libyan
state if that missile comes out of the Qatar depression.

Don't even bring up issues like Sea-launch or AIr-launch,
YOu'll amuse me too much.
