I thought it was hilarious when O'Reily compared him to Dr. Strangelove. I have never seen Leonard espouse his views before. So you thought he was a bit too radical, stating we should allow the military to decide which weapons to use during battle? Limited nuclear weapons would do a nice job on the underground cave structure, don't you think?

One of my roommates in USAF pilot training was an Iranian pilot trainee named Kayhan Shamsee. He described for me in 1970 the growing militancy of the Islamic fundamentalist, and that someday he would be shooting down U.S airplanes, because they would kill him if he didn't abide by their rules.
