An enemy who has decided to use nuclear weapons on the US would be better served by multiple EMP enhanced high altitude bursts fired from subs (or non-military ships) just off the coast that would likely put us back into the 19th century. The book "1 Second After" is a good read on this.

"1 Second After" is an excellent, well researched book that is very scary.
