Do you have any doubt at all that our own President Bush doesn't feel he's sanctioned by "his God" to strike out against terrorisim?
Even if you discount the second hand witness to his more wacky statements, what's on the public record is clear enough to me.

Any yet there are no jihadist who have the means to build or probably even acquire a nuke.
The countries who do have them are completely deterred by MAD, as they know they would be on a short list for the USA to render them unto glass.
More likely would be a nuclear Iran going after Saudia Arabia...the divisions between Islamic sects are much deeper than against the West.
In the end, they are all in it for themselves, and the world will certainly suffer. But I think the proposition of a sneak nuke attack against the US pretty remote.
