Exactly.
Since the Russians got the bomb in the fifties, using a nuke has always been suicide.
It's called
Mutually Assured Destruction. Perhaps you've heard of it?
The only difference now is that countries in question (Iran, Pakistan) have NOT demonstrated the ability to deliver a weapon to the US. This makes them far less a threat than say Russia, which has had this ability for nigh on 50 years....but we don't stay awake at night worrying about that.
BTW: I would not qualify the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN to be "Suicide Bombers"<-----Are you saying they are?
I also don't think that old Pervez had any better grip on the radicals than the new guys will. At least he never demonstrated it to my liking.
