An atomic attack on Fortress America by pious men with beards isn't a matter of if but when.

I posted something on this thread while pissed off about another issue. Once you hit the button you can't call it back.

I apologized. Get over it.

There is a reason why Islam is a real danger to us.

It wouldn't be more than an annoying mosquito, easily slapped if we weren't undermined by an enemy within.

Same with China, who is, outside of our own traitors, the biggest threat to our existence.

Unless we find a way to deal with the enemies within, we will be destroyed.

That is the dillemma.

We are losing that struggle.

"Nuking North Korea in retaliation to a Muslim attack against us makes sense, why?"

- Because the North Koreans wouldn't hesitate to sell nukes to Islamofascists as long as they thought that they would be used on the US. As you may recall, Libya, a Muslim state, admitted they were getting nuclear technology assistance from North Korea before they went public and gave up their nuclear ambitions.

If they bomb those cities on the list

What "list" and who's on it? Please supply a link.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

The list of cities was around here somewhere.

The nine biggest. Boston, Chicago, New York, L.A. (does that still count as American?)
Washington, etc..

The list of domestic enemies I was thinking about when I kicked the hornet's nest is gone from the net.

As was pointed out to me, they control the political scene in these cities, but don't live there, so if we were bombed we'd just have a lot of dead innocents. the scum will be elsewhere.

Would the same logic apply to Nuking the USA because a certain administration, other than the one in power now, is known to have made nuclear and missile technology available to a state that is currently threatening to use these nuclear tipped missiles against us?

So do we nukes ourselves or just target Chappaquiddick?

IMO, it says a lot about the current state of the conservative movement in this country that only two of us thought this was worthy of comment – to me some of the posters on FR are as scary, or scarier, than anyone over on DU or Kos, there’s a point were “True Believers” – on the left or the right – just scare the shit of out me.

As it happens I also hang out on another board where there’s a guy who was one of the first Western journalists to cover the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and was also one of the handful of Western journalists allowed into Cambodia after the Revolution. (There’s no question he's on the level, I've gone back and read some of his articles from the period, which were published in the CSM, among other places.)

The reason he was able to cover some of these stories is because he was a *very* serious convert to Leftist causes as a young man – bought in hook, line and sinker, an *actual* “Communist Sympathizer”, or a least a supported and admirer of Marxist third world “People’s Revolutionary” movements – he was the genuine article, completely bought into the program.

Anyway, for the people who are fortunate enough to somehow break free of this sort of delusional state, there’s often a single moment when realization dawns, and for this guy it was standing on a main street in Phnom Pehn a day or two after the entire population of the city had been driven into the countryside, looking down a wide boulevard empty as far as the eye could see, while the “Minister of Information” (or whatever) extolled the virtue of the revolution

At that moment he realized just how insane it was to suppose that the depopulation of an entire city and the impending destruction of its inhabitants could somehow be justified by reduceing the entire population of the city to the evil other, or at least to a class of unimportant individuals who could be sacrificed, if need by, in the cleansing fire which would also consume their conspiratorial masters.

In the same way, when someone starts telling me that if I just understood things as well at they did I would “support” the terrorist destruction of American cities so that “the rest of us would be then be free to eradicate” some shadowy cadre of oppressors, I head the voice of a wanna’ be “Minister of Information”, US style.

And it doesn’t matter if it’s nattering the empty truisms of the Left or the Right - to me its the voice of madness and wanton destruction.

- Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk! (Now sit down Moe and finish your soup.)

If it was his ass on the front line I doubt he would be second guessing the decision to drop the bomb.If we invaded Japan we might have sustained up to a half a million casualties but the Japanese would have had millions of casualties.I think we made the right decision.

[Kozak]

1/8 th of 1.2 Billion Muslims is 150,000,000 not the 10 to 20 million you believe support the terrorists.

We were willing to incinerate every Soviet citizen when less then 10% were members of the Communist party. I'm afraid the situation is analogous here.

[Little Ray]

I'd certainly be willing but, for some bloody reason, folks seem to believe that we should limit ourselves to attacking the terrorists only. As people keep pointing out, this is like limiting our WWII objectives to the air crews of the planes that attacked Pearl Harbor. I'm not arguing the necessity - just the will.

Looks like Rep. Tancedo's comment has some deep resonance out there. The ragheads should know what's ahead for Mecca, the Dome of the Rock,and other "holy sites" if one nuke goes off in any city in the USA. Our government would be finished here if it didn't respond in kind because the people will rise up and demand retribution that will inflict massive damage to the mid-eastern countries that incubate Muslim terrorists.
