I was thinking yesterday of our approach to Soviet expansionism and found that there is a solution here in our current crisis as well.

Mutually Assured Destruction

There may be "moderate" Muslims who blanche at the methods of the "fanatics" but both have the same goal and the same weakness. The time may come soon--if it hasn't already--when we should have two very large missiles pointed at their sweet spots... Mecca and Medina.

We can call Medina the warning. Something along the lines of "another attack against American interests and Medina's toast. Push us again and guess what else you lose... Any questions?"

Draconian? Perhaps. Alternatives?

Draconian? Yes. Alternatives? None
