What no one wants to say is that there is one way, and one way only, to stop all of this nonsense.

We join with Russia (now......unfortunately; and only now due to the horrors of the last several days) and we make the following pronouncement to the world:

"We, the world's nuclear superpowers, offer the following ultimatum. Islamic terrorism of all kinds stops immediately. If not, here are the horrific consequences your world will face.

For the first attack, we will jointly attack and destroy Mecca with nuclear missiles. Another attack.....Medina is wiped from the earth. Each subsequent attack will be matched by yet more nuclear destruction of the Arab world's major cities one by one. No further warning, no matter how many are killed in a single terrorist attack. Whether five or ten or 100 victims, your attack will cost your people an entire city.

We await your response. Rest assured ours is ready."

Great idea. I thought about it myself. The most important point is: they don't care about their children's or their own lives if their ideas are at full swing. What they care about is their religious landmarks, and lives of their religious leaders.

That's the target!

I like your letter.. I only wish that "The powers that be" were as brave as you.

I agree...on 9/11/01 I agreed.

We join with Russia (now......unfortunately; and only now due to the horrors of the last several days) and we make the following pronouncement to the world:...

I have made similar proposals a few times since 9/11 and would caution against a "nothing or all" approach.
'The most efficient (fewer total lives lost by the time the problem is gone) way to implement the ultimatum is to allow, to the extent possible, each muslim country to reflect on the problem and to solve their own national portion of the problem. After all, it is not reasonable for Morroco to know where all the training camps and terrorist concentration are in Pakistan. It is reasonable to expect that they would know where their domestic terrorists hang out.

Thus my proposal is more "democratic": one sqaure kilometer of each muslim capital will be reduced to rubble for every terrorist act in a non-muslim country, or against a non-muslim target. Beginning with the seat of government (palace buildings, legislature).

It will then be only a matter of time before they must assess how many square kilometers of their capitals they are willing to lose.

What entitles the superpowers to arbitrarily use power to persuade? The fact that they can. That's all that's ever needed. Except in the current distorted world, where PC dictates otherwise and, in the process, enables terrorism.

Appeasement and indecisiveness are too chronic, I fear.

Hit Mecca and TROP falls immediately. We need to hit it NOW, a pre-emptive strike.
