Don't expect Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller to apologize over a social media post that appeared to call for the atomic bombing of "the Muslim world" – despite an outcry from critics.

Miller, who is currently on a trade mission to China, did not personally share a controversial photo that appeared on his campaign Facebook account and has since been removed, Todd Smith, the Republican's campaign spokesman, said Monday. The commissioner has no plans to figure out which of his staffers shared the controversial posting, or to apologize, Smith said.

While the theory sounds nice, it would be a global disaster if a nuclear strike was used against the Middle East or any country for that matter. Terrorists' allies would seek a vengeful counter-strike directed at the US. Additionally, all credibility and support other Muslim nations have for the USA would most likely dissipate. Eventually, another nuclear capable country would probably sympathize with the region and the start of a nuclear war would be inevitable. I think that this possibility is the reason why no country has dared to use such destructive weapons since WWII and have only used them as a means of chest thumping.

The graphic is definitely distasteful and not something we would expect from anyone let alone someone holding public office. It has been acknowledge as such and removed, I wonder what and apology will provide that has not already been accomplished?

The problem with this besides the obvious carnage from the blast is something called Radiational Fallout though I do think that Iran a few others would like to strike first without any consideration for lives lost. Now, screw ISIS/ISIL <-- Obama's deal and those scum sucking misanthropic jingoists in Iran and so on.
