It won't work with a terrorist or other unlawful army, they have no country to retaliate against. If they set off a nuke in a major city and bring our economy to it's knees there is no equivalent we can strike back at.
Which is precisely why we cannot allow a rouge state to acquire nuclear weapons which they might supply to such a terrorist group to act as it's proxy in striking at us. They can claim innocence.
That's what the left/anti-war crowd just doesn't get. We couldn't take the chance with Saddam, we can't take it with Iran.
