Orwellian Doublespeak now order of the day

I heard an interesting item on the BBC news bulletin this morning.
"The Americans are considering developing mini-nukes (that is, small nuclear bombs) to blow up bunkers that may contain al-Quaeda weapons of mass destruction."
What?

The question arises: Who presents the greater danger to world peace today?
I humbly submit that the present regime in the US presents a much greater danger than a gang of ultras in the in the Middle East. The Americans will set a precedent by resorting to the horror of nuclear weapons and opening the floodgates. This is a scenario that is too frightening to contemplate.
