[Final Authority]

What is tough? General Sherman was tough. Stalin was tough. I do not know what GWB will do but I can speak for myself. We know that the loyalists are men between the ages of 16 and, say 45. Have them register for ID's and wear a ID tag. All men, after a certain date not registered should be considered dangerous, shot, or taken prisoner and placed in a prison camp. Villages where there is a reluctance to register or cooperate should be advised that the village will be razed, destroyed after a certain date, and then carried out.

This type of effort must be escalated with every effort by the insurgency to thwart it.

We can't turn back because the vacuum would be filled by those that we will just have to fight again and this time they will have $2 trillion worth of oil to fund their plans.

LOL, and then what do you do with a village full of people who no longer have a place to live? You'd just create more problems than we have currently if you did that.

Also, what would you do to the commanders in the field who refused to carry out such an order? And there would be some who did. What would you do when the Senate impeached the President for acting in this manner? Again, that could happen as well.

If we want to act like Saddam himself, what was even the point of removing the man? What is the point to the whole thing if you simply become the thing you wanted to defeat?

We can call it the 'Final Solution'.
