The point is irony. I admit a disparit irony. The point is this -- if we're supposed to accept gay lifestyle in contradiction to their biology and genitic makeup then we can respond to all behavior as indicitive of how those displaying any behavior should be treated. If acting like a woman means you're a woman, then acting like an animal means you're an animal.

We execute heartless murdurers with apathy by saying "he was an animal" so why shouldn't the same apathy be applied if we nuke, for example, some radical islamic city. If we did, I'm not sure there would be many tears for the dead if couched in the "they were just animals" thinking.

Personally, I find it hard to muster up any sympathy for those that suicide bomb school busses or hijack planes to fly them into tall buildings. My human compassion is simly not applied.

THis post is for thinking -- I'm not sure there is a right answer.

Ok. I see whwre you are going now. I think we should have nuked Bora Bora 18 months ago- excellent target, few civilain casulties, problem solved. It would have put the fear of God in many folks and probably would have caused a bit of introspection.

As for retailiation- I think any attack on a US monument or city should be matched with the destruction of one of their sacred sites. We are prepared to deal with hatred. Once people act on this hatred-the gloves should come off.

I would advocate the destruction of Mecca if another 9-11 were to happen. It is us vs. them.
