I disagree with Ayn on that one.. we should invade their countries, and KILL THEM ALL.
How lovely to hear that while American men and women are today dying with, and for, Arab men and women, you somehow think your little patriotic bit will help the cause of freedom and liberty, rather than hatred and bigotry.
ALL== terrorists, mullahs and other fanatix who would be a source of trouble to us in future if not now. Not the Karzais or Allawis who are helping us. I'm not hateful toward all muslims or arabs, infact not even toward terrorists. They are the hate mongerers, not us. We are merely acting out of an enlightened sense of self interest, augmented by a reasonable instinct of self-preservation, which is morally justified as we were the ones who were unfairly victimized. I support giving our boys a free hand in all operations over there, raiding out mosques or bombing them back to stone age if necessary, using any amount of force or any interrogation techniques (including any level of torture), AS THEY SEEM FIT (not you not me not even the POTUS should interfere, only military generals).
In cases like Iran and North Korea, its high time we used "tactile nukes" to take out their offensive targets and their entire conventional armed forces. Its not hatred, it merely amounts to taking a suitable decision as dictated by the situation at hand, and acting up on it promptly, with courage and grit, for the welfare and security of "our" people.
