Boom
When I read the headline Congress provided with report on potential nuclear targets, I thought it referred to a list drafted of domestic sites that bad guys might want to blow up.
No, it's a list drafted of sites abroad that we might want to blow up.
I suppose in some way it's just a restructuring of how it was for a long time, just bringing our bombs up to date. During the Cold War, each warhead, silent in its silo, certainly had a specific destination in mind. That list has been rather well obsolete for a while.
Such rationalization doesn't make me that much more comfortable, though.
