There are times--and this is one of them--when I'm tempted to suggest we nuke the whole country until there's nothing left, and let them start over from scratch. I know this is just my reaction to the sometimes disgusting behavior of the people we're trying to help, and when I'm thinking more clearly, perhaps I'll have more rational suggestions.

But for now, it's hard to be rational as I imagine the torture these men experienced at the hands of the people they were trying to help. Prayers for the soldiers and their families. Something else for the ones who did this.

Do you know what gets to me? Its FREAKIN TEENAGERS who did this -- NOT ENEMY SOLDIERS BUT FREAKIN TEENAGERS!!!

Miz, I know EXACTLY how you feel. Part of me says, take the women and children out of the town and then flatten the place. We're there helping them and they do this to our young people. If there are any good people in these areas, there is no excuse for them not to take a stand for doing the right thing. If our young men and women can risk their lives, these people should be willing to do the same for their own country. AND, the Dept of Defense better take heed before prosecuting Col. Allen West. Hope everyone has or will call the DOD or the White House to support this man who did what needed to be done to protect our troops. God bless our military men and women and their families.

The problem with nuking them is that the area would be uninhabitable for 200,000 years or so. That would include not just the land and water, but the oil. The contamination of the air could travel around the globe and cause health problems for everyone on the planet.
