Tom Clancy did, only the target was the Capitol.  The naive position
is to assume the target is the system infected with the virus, rather
than the uncertainty it creates and the money diverted to defend
against it.  It wasn't the bombs themselves that caused the downfall
of the Soviets, but the threat of their use that did it.  One has to
