Eggplant, I think that most people would agree that any jihadi WMD strike would be on a single target. And I am fairly convinced that the retaliation would be as I described.

London? Maybe. Frankly, I don’t think it would be much of a loss. Guy Fawkes had a point. In fact, I think the only city in Europe whose loss would be less of a problem to the majority of Brits not living in it would be Brussels. Or perhaps Strasbourg, depending on which particular trough the pigs had their snouts in that week.

Likely targets in London would be either Westminster or the City. Given recent events, not much of a loss at all.
