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,

Horsefeathers. The only way to stop terror is with horror

If we don't do it, they will continue to terrorize.

My point exactly. Contrary to some people's beliefs, we actually have been brutal enough to defeat this type of enemy, just look at history. But, it takes a Pearl Harbor or a 911 to solidify public opinion to support this type of reprisal. The resolve will be there, because the Muslims do not rerally understand us. They think they can just keep tweaking us and we will never do anything about it. At some point they will go to far and then Mecca will be incinerated.

Read Hanson's Soul of Battle, its all right there.
