Nice, but you either missed the point of my post or completely ignored it.

You're advocating a military attack against a nation with which we are not at war because they share a religion with a different, legitimate target. Does that really seem like a good idea to you?

Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended a war. Nuking Mecca would only escalate it.

Just nuke the mosques where the mullahs preach hate.

You don't know that.

Muslims consider themselves a sovereign people under Allah worldwide. In their eyes, we're squatting on Allah's property.

The Qu'ran also teaches them that Christians, Jews, and infidels are to subjugated to Allah or killed if they resist. Muslims may fight among themselves, and Shi'ites and Sunnis certainly do, but they are united against the rest of the world. Having successfully brutalized Christians and Jews in Islamic countries, Muslims have made the west their new target of opportunity.

We would wise to learn this and prepare for more attacks, deter attacks if possible, and annihilate Islamic fighting capabilities and crush their morale and spirit if deterrence fails. That's what Churchill and FDR would do. Jimmy Carter and Neville Chamberlain style appeasement will NEVER suffice.
