Nuclear strike-back. Revenge, or reprisal?
I have always wondered this. Say there are two countries in the world, big with many cities...etc...
You are the leader of one country, and you are at war with the other. Your military advisors tell you that the enemy has launched a full-scale nuclear strike against your nation, targeting major cities and military bases. Obviously your first response would be to try to stop as many missiles as you can, and get as many of your people to safety as possible.
You now have two options before the missiles strike. A) Make no offensive move against the enemy. B) Launch your own attack on enemy cities and bases, as retaliation.
No other informaiton is known about the enemy, the people there, or who supports who -it doesnt really matter here. What would you do?
If you chose to attack, would you say it is an act of revenge, or justice/reprisal? If you chose not to, then why?

No retaliation.
If I was the leader of a Nuclear Power, I wouldn't be at war to begin with. Unlike Bush, I would do everything in my power to avoid war with a nuclear power. This scenario would never happen on my watch.
If this situation did happen and I had no choice, I would not retaliate. Killing innocent people should never be an option during war. I know that killing innocent people is unavoidable in some circumstances during war but I would do everything in my power to avoid it. I would have setup a missile defense system so that ICBMs would never be a threat…I would also employ extensive anti aircraft installments to prevent an air strike. I would also have in place a virtual martial law, not allowing people into the country during war time with only a few exceptions…the list goes on an on…
If I was the Leader of a country at war with another, I would setup a cage match with the leader of the other country and the victor of the cage match would win the war and all military action would have to stop and we would have to strike a peace treaty.

What he^ said. I'd rather leave my nation a smoking heap of radioactive ruin than plunge the entire globe in nuclear winter. MAD sucks, and I'd sooner concentrate covering my borders with anti-missile emplacements than focus on bringing the whole world down with me in an act of revenge.

Same as I thought. It would seem at least that the truth would have to get out to the people of said other country, who would ultimately question their leadership and overthrow the person who launched the nukes. Maybe.
