This is a Holy Muslim War. They will not stop until every one of them (or us) is dead.
What do you mean "us", paleface? [old joke, off topic to explain]
Christians? Americans?
Hell, they just want Israel to disappear, preferably at their hand, and they're happy.
*THAT* is why they attack. Partially because its so damn dangerous to attack Israel - they tend to respond "disproportionately".
And we don't.
If there is one left standing, they will have a "calling" from Allah to attack the U.S. If there is one American left standing, we'll be duty bound to destroy Islam.
That's not the case. For some of them, a very few, yes. And they manipulate some others. We've seen it before, and withstood it without having to "kill them all".
Or we kill every living Arab in the world.
Which doesn't change the problem you were describing.
McVeigh wasn't an arab. But he was as deadly. There are Christian sects as dangerous as the extreme Arab sects. Want to let *me* pick out who to shoot? Please?
You see, once we attack Afghanistan, they and most of the Arab world will declare war on us.
I don't know that at all.
Something from my viewpoint, and my mismash of knowledge of Islam and Arabs (which requires distinction, the Afganistanis aren't arabs (right?)) - the issue with the Arabs is that "country" is mostly irrelevant - the lines were drawn by Europeans. (which is why As I understand it, is why Iraq has a debatably legit claim to Kuwait).... So the ties are slightly different.
You're talking about the Islamic world... and most of them hate each other, just slightly less than they hate us. Well, no, that's wrong too. Most of them don't give a rat's ass, they are too busy worrying about day-to-day.
