You may have a point, and I’m glad the Ruskies are doing it, not us. Nonetheless, as I beleive Jewbacca pointed out, this is not legal in America and if our policitally correct society decides to overlook this law along with the others we are all screwed.
Every “civilized” nation is playing a defensive war witht he terrorists. Russians going after relatives is a pussyfootin’ way to deal with a real serious problem. Sending our sons and daughters to places like Iraq and Afganistan is not the answer either.
We are dealing with religious fanatics that think they will go to heaven and get some virgins to play with as their reward.
The folks running WWII knew the Japanese were of a similar mindset, that they’d fight to the last man on the last inch costing millions of lives. They knew the answer. The answer was harsh and very decisive and did the trick. I have a feeling western civilization, including the Ruskies, will allow these defensive tactics to paint us into a corner where the only alternative will be harsh and decisive.
The Russian ploy may deter some muslim terrorists, but not the hardest of them.
Sometimes the harsh and decisive is the only thing that works. Why would that be abhorrent? They WILL kill everyone of us if given the chance.
As to “innocent” muslims, just how many have stood up and told the radicals NO? Obviously they go along to some degree.
Jefferson and Pershing did a good job of quieting the muslim world down for a hundred years each. Time for some harsh and decisive to give the world another 100 year rest.
