You must mean those ridiculously-named MOABs. Yes, they are more powerful than the slightly older BLU-25s and have explosive capacaties in the kiloton range. Still nasty, but definitely non-radioactive.

I still disagree with the assessment that terrorists will defeat a nation. That has never happened in the history of the world...well, with the exception of the Hashishim (the Assassins) toppling the Selmud (?) dynasty.
Anyway, there aren't many old terrorists, and I doubt that the middle-aged ones can continue to recruit impressionable youngsters in numbers sufficient to carry on the struggle in the years to come. After a while, no one will want to listen to anything they have to say, especially since recent developments show that some "Islamic" terrorists think it is okay to kill Muslims who ally with Westerners. They will cut themselves off from their own supporters with an attitude like that.
