We don't have to step over the nuclear line to be able to cause significant destruction. FAEs like the Daisy Cutters and MOABs make a pretty solid pop, without the nasty cleanup issues of nukes.
I guess the American public forgot- WWII, we bombed the living daylights out of Germany, Italy, and Japan (not talking Hiroshima and Nagasaki). There were a lot of civilian casualties back then, but I don't remember hearing about people all over the US up in arms because some German citizens were killed by Allied bombing in Berlin and Tokyo. We were at war then, we're at war now. If people over here knew how shady Afghan's are, and how their allegiances change at the drop of a hat, they'd fully support us putting our high tech munitions right down their Mohammad loving throats.
