Feel free to stop listening....
The reality is, the U.S. doesn't fight like that. We identify the enemy, and then try our best to limit casualties to that enemy. We can't declare war on 1.2 billion people, the vast majority of whom just want to live and provide for their families.

I am not saying that we should declare war on 1.2 billion people. What I am saying is that if a lot of them end up as collateral damage in our just war against Holy Jihad in Muslim territory, then the moral responsibility for those deaths lies not with us, but with the Muslim people who have not been able or willing to contain this deadly plague on their own.

What I am saying is that discussions about whether Islam is or is not a releigion of peace are as pointless as discussions over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

What I am saying is that while we must recognize that our power is not ulimited and that there are be practical political and military reasons why we cannot invade and occupy every Muslim country, to the extent that we find it effective to do so, we have that moral right.

Also, please don't tell me there are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. I'm sure there would be many fewer if allegiance to Allah and Mohammed were not enforced under the threat of death in the most disgusting ways imaginable, as it is in almost all Muslim nations.

Look up the number of Japanese survivors of:
Tarawa, (17 of 4900)
Peleliu, (301 of 11,000 est.)
Iwo Jima, (1083 of 22,000)
Saipan, (1000 of 30,000 + 22,000 civilians killed)
Okinawa, 10,755 captured or surrendered, 107,539 soldiers killed, 23,764 sealed in caves, and 100,000+ civilians dead.

Beginning to detect a pattern? And, somewhen, in a few months, those 7th century idiots will pull some horror so grotesque as to insure the obliteration of Islam. Cultures whose best belief is a hope to die usually do.

Hahahah, tell that to fire storm destroyed (and bombs of variable fuses that go off upto two days later) German & Japanese city. Or to 3 million dead Vietnamese....piss on US enough and it is like every other nation...destroy the enemy. Difference is between us Russians and Americans and Wester Euros is: Russians have shorter tolerance before we go postal...but W.Europe has lemming like sucidal lethargy to do nothing...US is in between. In the end, Islam will die...death of own making.

All it take for US is to loose 100K+ civilians...Al Quads may make it so this summer...then exterminations and deportations begin...if not of government then by very peoples whos relatives die off from gas or disease or nuke. Islam is to reason what downs syndrom is to intelligence.
