The U.S. certainly would use one for defensive purposes, I think. And I believe we would in an offensive situation if we could take out the enemy's capability with one strike, saying afterwards, "We won, so what?" When push comes to shove, the great majority of Americans simply do not care what the rest of world thinks if the part of the rest of the world is disturbing their creature comforts or watching Jeopardy. Sad to say, most Americans simply are not concerned about the moral considerations of using nukes against folks they see as the bad guys.
Example. Let the Taliban or al-qaeda get one or several of the Paki's nukes, and our citizens would be clamoring for a nuclear strike against the bad guys.
