With inter-continental missiles armed with 5 megaton thermonuclear bombs. Just to see if they'l travel that far.
hmmm. Is this a test? svw wanders off thinking it must be a trick question.

We spend a lot more per death than we once did. When Og bashed in his neighbor's head with a rock, killing was nearly free. When archers used much smaller stones and shafts of wood, killing was still cheap. Now we spend thousands and more per death. No one is worth the price we pay to kill them.
A well placed nuke drops the price back down to a few hundred dollars per death (and it gets rid of obnoxious architecture, too).
Originally posted by Sicilian SmaugThey are called intercontinental ballistic missiles for a reason, and, like others have said, you would be wasting a lot of money, both in the missiles and in the lost profits from the 100 millions sheep melted by the explosions.
