Couldn't we just smother it with CS gas and shoot 'em as they come out? Bet they don't have a lot of gas masks there...

Personally, though, I would LOVE give 'em the opportunity to die under a pile of gold-leafed bricks. Sends the right message: Sistine Chapel, Taj Mahal, Church of the Nativity, or Versailles, there is no place for you hide, and nothing we will not level to kill you. If we continue to let 'em hid there, we just send a rather foolish message - crawl under a cultural icon and we negotiation rather than slaughter the scum.

To tell the truth, if these were Southern Baptists who had taken over the Dauphin Way Baptist Church in Mobile, AL, and were using it to attack police I would be all in favor of OUR troops taking them out, regardless of what was required. Baptists don't have a really 'holy' shrine like that or the Vatican, but whatever facility they were using to bring disgrace to the religion would be fair game as far as I'm concerned. I trust the members of Dauphin Way will understand their church was chosen only for illustrative purposes!

I totally agree with you.
