We can all curse and shake our fists, but unfortunately our perfumed, white gloved Western culture is incapable of properly responding to the barbarians at its gates, except by instituting politically correct searches of little old ladies at airport checkpoints. Too far gone we are. too civilized, too naively persuaded of the noble nature of mankind and so on. Or maybe I'm all wrong.

No you are correct, unfortunately. The only way to stop terror is with horror but we'll allow the socialists in this country and elsewhere to tie our hands while all of our collective heads are cut off.

We're in agreement. There may be 100 thousand or 100 million of these savages out there. No need to destroy them all. We didn't destroy all of the Japanese or all of the Germans in the 1940s, but we did inflict enough horror on them to teach those who survived a lesson that will last for generations. I think that very few in the West, left right or center, have stomachs for similar measures this time. Maybe later on...

Nonesense. Read about the Marines on Okinawa and IwoJima in 1944/45. The US has used every weapon, including dropping the big ones. And it is good that we are willing to do so.

What we are, however, is civilized enough to understand what it means to have to do these things. There is not the resolve, not yet at least. But there will be more stuff, there will be another 911, more of this outrage, and then the resolve and determination will be there. But it takes a lot for us to get that fired up, thank God for that.

The Muslims do not know what is in store for them, its really too bad. The pain on both sides is going to be very high.

You said it precisely:We can all curse and shake our fists, but unfortunately our perfumed, white gloved Western culture is incapable of properly responding to the barbarians at its gates, except by instituting politically correct searches of little old ladies at airport checkpoints. Too far gone we are. too civilized, too naively persuaded of the noble nature of mankind and so on. Or maybe I'm all wrong.

These people do not understand Western concepts like mercy, compassion, justice. They understand only one thing: brute, unrelenting force. Not that we care what they understand. We just need to wipe this blight from the face of the planet. If we don't, they will end Western civilization.

Against Nazis, we didn't say, "Oh, not ALL Nazis are bad." We have a cult of people (one billion of them) whose CORE BELIEF, core CREED, consists of their VOW to kill US. This is not optional on their part. They are COMPELLED to kill Christians, Jews, and to end Western Civilization. They have been working toward this for 1700 years. WE seem to be the first and only generation not to fully understand history in this respect.

The story of the 20th century was our fight against Nazis, Commies, and Japanese imperialist hegemony. The story of HISTORY is the clash of civilizations----US versus Mohammedans.
