    Think of this as a political game of Clue(less)

    Who will be the first government/organization to detonate a nuke (in anger) in the 21st century?

    Where? Asia, Europe, North America? pick a continent.

    When? ... within a year? 1-3 years? 3-5 years?

    Other/None of the Above represent respectable answers

    Bonus question: Who will you blame? ... this is what really matters.

    The first "organization" to detonate a nuclear weapon will be an as-yet-unformed Islamic terror cell. I believe London will be the city that gets hit. It will happen more than 5 years out.

    I don't think Israel will be the first to get nuked, because my guess is they go to war with Iran and neutralize its nuclear capabilities.

    I've rethought my response. I think it'll be Australian aborigines and they'll accidentally detonate a nuke in Aukland, New Zealand after taking delivery from the Jew Bas s for the purpose of leveling the Sydney Opera House and everything within a 20 mile radius. It'll be during a defusing demonstration and some dumb will cut the wrong wire. 35 years out.

    5-10 years out.

    One of Washington D.C., NY, or LA, maybe more. If it's more, London will get it too.

    Culprits will be associates or direct members of AQ. Nuke will be one that came from Russia (bought on black market) or Iran (here, have fun, tell them Khomeini said hi).

    Who will we blame? AQ and Iran, and they will bear the brunt of the response.

    Okay, okay, it'll be penguins, in Antartica, who accidentally nest in a secret Israeli nuclear weapons depot at the South Pole. Next week.

    I predict an Islamic-backed group will blast a nuke in Africa within 3 years.

    Then, in all probability, it will land in Pyongyang and, therefore, will fall under the "if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise" postulate.

    Yeah, the Jew Bas s will give a nuke to the Etheopians who will detonate it in Mogadishu.

    Do you ever stop and wonder how the we've gotten 60 years without another one being used?

    I think the biggest danger out there is the nuclear Weapons in the hands of Pakistan. I don't how you keep those out of the hands of fanatics, but I think if that country ever falls apart into a civil war, that is where you will see your nuclear detonation orginating from.

    However, I think long before a nuclear bomb is detonated, you'll see a terrorist attack in the form of a dirty bomb. Where you see that, I have no clue but I'm pretty sure it is going to happen in Europe before it happens here.

    Dirty bombs are over-rated. The conventional explosion would do most of the damage and there are no studies that prove this type of device would cause mass casualties due to radiation poisoning. However, I think your right about Pakistan. After President Mussharef come the guys with the beards.

    Well, it doesn't have to be about actual damage, but fear and panic. A dirty bomb going off in any major US city would cause a ton of panic. It would be really cheap to get a ton of nuclear waste and spread it with a truck bomb.

    Call your shot?

    nothing to be proud of predicting, this is rather of poor taste.

    This is one of those games when even if you win you actually lose...

    still: India on Pakistan would be a good guess (or other way around).
