the arabs who are terrorists could care less about their own civilians. this is like saying if we had nuked Kabul before 9/11, Ben Laden would have called off the WTC attack from his cave at Tora Bora.

the terrorists, Sadr, they want the US to rack up civilian body counts. It helps their cause.

Now, if you can kill 7000 terrorists, or 7000 people from Sadr's militia, without killing 20,000 civilians in the process - I'm all for it. Can we?

It is true that the arabs who are terrorists could care less about their own civilians. this is like saying if we had nuked Kabul before 9/11, Ben Laden would have called off the WTC attack from his cave at Tora Bora.

Lets discuss this shall we. If we had leveled Kabul before 9/11, Bin Laden would have had a reason to stop and think and ponder, what we would do if he attacked the WTC. As it was he didn't have ANY reason to fear ANYTHING.

Now Bin Laden is not the only factor. What about the arabs in the rest of the middle east. If they see that the USA is going to respond with 7000 dead muslims for every American killed, the "Arab Street" is going to pass the word that - even though they sure would like to get a hold of those 72 virgins, they ain't ready just yet. The Arab in the street, as soon as he hears anybody even thinking about attacking Americans, is going to go Ape SH*t and tell him:

Abdul are you crazy? Don't mess with those Americani, they will leave a grease spot where you and your family and their friends used to live. No, no, no.... go shoot the Spainish or the French but not the Americans. AND, if I ever hear you say anything against America again, I will kill burn mutilate and hang you myself.
