You may want to be careful how you label people who disagree with you. I've got a fair number of friends/family fighting against islamo-fascism in Afghanistan and Iraq right now who think Tancredo's statement was idiotic. Would you consider them "weepy, cowardly appeasors"?
Nuking Mecca may make some of us feel better, but doing things just because they make you feel better is the way liberals solve problems. Conservatives are the ones who are supposed to look at a proposed course of action and ask whether it will actually solve the problem at issue, or whether is just makes us feel better.
I've yet to have anyone in favor of nuking Mecca offer a good explanation for how that will help defeat islamo-fascism. All I ever hear is that if you're not in favor of it, you're soft on terrorism. It's the intellectual equivalent of giving the wino on the corner $5 because it makes you feel better, even though you know he's just going to spend it on booze.
I calls 'em as I sees 'em, and certainly don't need you as a moral tutor.

Well I have two nephews who just got back from Iraq and Afghanistan (respectively), one a soldier, one a Marine. Though I thank your "family/friends" for their service, I (1.) am not impressed by the attempt to put words I never said into my mouth (that's a scummy kind of smear I see employed frequently by the dim bulbs I encounter), and (2.) they are entitled to their opinions, as am I. That is part and parcel of what they're fighting for, as my nephews have done.
As to the rest: I've had my say on the matter, frequently, in this forum and am not going to regurgitate it once again for the likes of you.
Good day, sir.
When it comes to the Tancredoites, name calling is their standard MO. If you don't agree with them then either you're pro-illegal immigration, pro-terrorists, or guilty of treason. Just look at most of Czar's posts. All he does is accuse people of being traitors simply because they don't agree with Tancredo or him.
