Well, depends on who's pointing the nuke ;^)

Honestly, were someone to point a nuke at the continental US, they would likely pick a target for non-strategic purpose - most likely it would be symbolic... Also, the chances are probably better that you could hit a non-military target, everything else being equal, as non-military targets would likely have no real defense.

Were I to "target" the US (and I'm not, trust me 8^), I would target someplace in the middle of nowhere, with a relatively large population. THe goal would be to show that no place is safe, not to get the greatest body count - remember, they are called terrorists, not accountants ;^)

Sorry for such a serious post in a humorous thread...
