US Army Suspends Class That Suggests Nuclear Destruction Of Islamic Sites

A course for U.S. military officers has been teaching that America's enemy is Islam in general, not just terrorists, and suggesting that the country might ultimately have to obliterate the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina without regard for civilian deaths, following World War II precedents of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima or the allied firebombing of Dresden.

The Pentagon suspended the course in late April when a student objected to the material. The FBI also changed some agent training last year after discovering that it, too, was critical of Islam.

Meanwhile, in Iran...

It’s a good thing to have in contingency as a threat of retaliation for the day when the Muslim Brotherhood smuggles the bomb into a western country... Something similar worked for Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

"contingency as a threat of retaliation for the day when the Muslim Brotherhood smuggles the bomb into a western country."

Exactly.

What if they level Washington DC then threaten to blow up other major cities?

We need a credible threat for retaliation and that should be openly discussed.

It took total destruction of major Japanese cities to soften the crazies who bombed Pearl Harbor. Only total victory convinces fanatics to give up.

WWII was won by overwhelming force. Not by political correct niceties.
