I'm not angry at all, I'm cold and calculating.

So was Saddam when he gassed the Kurds, and Hitler when he ordered the mass murder of Jews. What makes you any better?

There is a goal to achieve, and anger doesn't enable rational steps toward achieving that goal.

Advocating the incineration of millions of people is not rational, nor does it actually achieve any goal other than satisfying your desire for blood.

I wasn't indiscriminate.

Sure you were. You want to incinerate every man, woman, and child in several large cities, instead of discriminating between those who are actually our enemies, and those who are not.

I specified several capitals in the ME.

Simply because they *are* in the Middle East, and you're bigoted enough to think that's good enough reason for them to die.

Indiscriminate would be saturation nuclear bombing of non-enemy areas.

Like, say, "several capitals in the ME" when vast numbers of their inhabitants have never acted against us.

Elimination of those intent on killing you is not murder.

Feel free to eliminate those who are actually intent on killing us. But as soon as you decide to nuke entire cities on the "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" plan, it's mass murder of the countless people in those cities who are *not* "intent on killing us". Learn the difference.

I have no problem with being the "bigger monster" that is in fact the point of the lesson delivered.

Then you have already made your point loud and clear. The only thing I'm not clear on is why you seem so proud of it.

It's never a good idea to wake up the boogieman, or monster.

So roll over and go back to sleep, people more moral than yourself are already in charge.

As far as joining you, no thanks, I choice to not be a willing victim.

Your unfounded presumption that I am or would in any way be "a willing victim" is just as knee-jerk simplistic as your idea of how to "solve" the problem of violent anti-Americanism by proving to everyone that we're the most immoral and dangerous nation on the planet.

I'm no "willing victim" -- retaliation and elimination is certainly called for in response to both 9/11 and the recent atrocity in Fallujah. It's just that I think we should be more rational (and moral) in how we do it than just "HULK SMASH!", or engaging in worst atrocities than those we seek to settle accounts with.

Okay touchy feely, name one just one Muslim leader you have seen today howl in protest over this atrocity. Hell come to think of it name one cheese eating surrender monkey that has condemned the deed. Name all of the fine humanitarian nations in the Middle East that have come to the aid of the United States to stop the killing in Iraq during or after Saddam. No PC here, the facts are clear this part of the world is evil and dangerous.
