How About An E.M.P.?

 Now that the president has decided to punish the Syrian regime for it's horrendous use of nerve gas, why not go with an E.M.P.? You know the electronic magnetic pulse created by an air burst nuclear weapon. What use the one weapon W. couldn't even pronounce, you ask with horror?A small tactical nuke, exploded say 20 miles above Syria, would completely shut down Syria's war machine.It would also fry all the computers cell phones and electric grids in the country. Cars wouldn't run just like the object lesson in The Day The Earth Stood Still, the 1950's version. I mean if we are going to act like sanctimonious all powerful space invaders and stick our noses, once again, in a foreign countries internal problems,let's do it smartly. An air burst nuke won't kill directly and probably won't put any more radiation into the environment than a crippled Japanese reactor. We can even tell our allies what we are going to do.This certainly will send the message to the entire world America means business.
