The Picture
US News ^ | 3 Sep 04 | Self

Posted on 09/03/2004 3:09:27 PM PDT by SkyPilot

The above photo is from a young girl who was injured by the horrific Islamic terrorists in Chechnya.

Rarely has one picture summed up a struggle of good vs. evil better than this.

I don't advocate "nuking" people. That is what the terrorists do.

Sir, Your Dazed & Confused.

There is certainly a very special place in hell for this lot. I cannot even comprehend what would make a human do such a thing.

I hope that cross gives her all the strength and comfort she needs during this horrible time.

It was not the cross, but the blood of Jesus which was shed on that cross, that gave strength and comfort. The cross is a symbol. Jesus, our Christ, is the real thing! They can take away the symbol, but His Spirit dwells within...

Sir, Your Dazed & Confused.

It is spelled "You're" and I must tell you that the "Nukem till the glow" crowd are a pain in the posterior. Nuclear weapons are the ultimate weapon---they did prevail in WW II per you reference to the Enola Gay and the heroes of that mission.

May I submit a "however." To advocate them today is to advance a "NUKE EM Till They GLOW!" T-shirt label that spawns ridicule upon the United States and our legitimate war on Terror.

when a colony of termites threaten your house you don't just sit in the basement picking them off one by one. You kill them all - the queen termite, the worker termites, the baby termites, and the warrior termites.

I'm starting to believe the only answer is a response so much greater in proportion that the reward of terrorist action can never be sufficiently justified.

People are not insects.

You must think in strategic versus tactical terms. I understand the rage, the anger, and the revulsion behind the attacks--but we do no need "Nuke Em" poster boys.

I would add that my spelling is terrible, and I apologize for it.

I guess the difference is that I compare their culture more closely with an insect colony as opposed to a civilization.

The world will reach a moment of complete intolerence soon - we are very close now.

point to note - this would not be the first time.....

I firmly believe that what happened in Russia is a test run for the United States. After 9-11, I opined that these bastards would targets schools. It has happened... God have mercy on Americans if and when this ever happens here. Americans will go postal against these bastards, and all Muslims will become targets, I'm afraid.

GMTA!! This is exactly what I told my sister-in-law last night. If they thought our response to 911 was bad, let them try to attack our children. I think for the average American, all bets will be off and our civility will go out the window.

Strategic nukes... no need to just drop something. The military is very sophisticated.

You wrote:

"The Pakis already HAVE nukes"

but I had written (excerpt)

Pakistani Muslims ...such a missle :-)

My worry is if the existing 'US allies' in Pakistan
(such as they are) lose power, to be replaced by
Islamicists.

If they take out a major US city (or several) with nukes,
I predict the END of Islam as a world religion...
simultaneous with the reduction of US population by,
oh, a billion or so people. Recall that the US has
used nukes on civilian population centers in the past.


Douglas MacArther once said:
There are only two rules of war.
1. Never invade Russia
2. Never invade China
(he should have added 3. don't f*ck with US airpower)

[If we had just nuked Stalin back in '46 over his attempted
invasion of the Middle East, the world would have been
a MUCH happier place.]

Look at her sweet hand. It looks like she held her cross so tightly she actually indented or even cut the inside of her hand. God bless you sweet girl. May your country get tough on these criminals so that you may send your own children to school without the fear of Islamofascists murdering your children.

Agreed. I always worry about our daughter in our little church school--we don't have bodyguards or off duty police officers--there are only 100 children. Perhaps not a big enough target, but our pastor and others aren't PC enough to let garbage walk in the door for the sake of "tolerance" though in other words we are small, we know when a stranger is lurking around the place. I fear for the big schools where people come and go and staff will be less likely to do anything when someone suspicious comes in for fear of being labled a racist. This is the PC crap that will do them in and I have to concern myself with this too since I have an autistic son in preschool at a large public school. God help me if any of these pieces of human garbage hurt or kill my children. God help me.

Islam has shown itself incapable of eliminating the pestilence that has bearing blighted fruit. They do need a major crop dusting program now or the world will begin chopping the trees like we do with maple blight. They don't have much time either. The world is not patient with these primitives.

Just to let you know--Drudge carried this picture and story on his front page-it now has over 1,000,000 hits.

God bless you and God bless Free Republic.
