Worst possible course of action

Think about it for a moment, your going to go over to a culture built on macho and multi-generation revenge wars, and give all of them a reason to kill us at any cost? If somebody would actually do that I think things would quickly degerate to the point that genocide is the only solution. It would litterally be us or them, a multi-generation ground war that wouldn't end till every Muslim in the world was dead or the US and Europe where converted to the Muslim faith. Jay

If we feel that they are protecting these clowns a chance that the Aryan Brotherhood or someone like them may turn their gimlet eye on Mecca et al. thanx, bill why did god give us a talleywhacker and a trigger finger if he didnt want us to use them?

The reason MAD worked in the first place is that it only depends on a handful of top political leaders acting in a self interested manner. That is one of the bedrocks of human nature, we can depend on that. With the terrorists there are too many people the power to pull the trigger, and worse yet, they are usually religiously motivated not motivated by normal self interest. The religious fanatics are liable to want to trigger larger and larger reprisals, exactly to start war. That's ignoring the problem of targeting, To attack Mecca would be to punish all Muslims for the acts of a few. Jay

Are you suggesting that I be arrested and jailed for contemplative acts not carried out inside the borders of the United States? If I commit no crimes against the law here, and go to another country, perpetrate whatever acts I wish, how can you stop me when those folks can come here and act out at will? We have the largest mall in Florida opening Saturday 1/4 mile from my house. My girl is working there, my kids want to go there will be an estimated 10k capacity and if something happens? What is left of my family goes home, I go to doing what I used to do and a mountain load of evens goes out. Muslims are not the only ones that have the will to kill. Since that will not be directed by a government agency how can those governments like the taliban object? thanx, the above is conjecture etc. etc. etc. :) bill What is a user?
