but I think it defeats the whole purpose when the number of innocent "enemy" civilians killed greatly outweighs the number of innocent American citizens killed, at least from a global standpoint.
I thank God, that we did not have this type of mental disease in WW2.
Gee, Mr. Truman, if we drop on bomb on Hiroshima and kill and injure over 100,000 INNOCENTS, without us losing one man, WHAT WILL THE GLOBAL STANDPOINT BE? And golly gee wiz, what will happen if we do it AGAIN to those poor people in Nagasaki? Oh woe is US, the world will not like that.
Hint: When you are in a fight, the object is NOT to hit the opponent as many times as he hits you. The objective is to hit the opponent 10 times harder and faster, so you can end the fight quickly and in such a way that the opponent does not come back for more.
Tancredo is right except for one thing. We can't wait to be attacked AGAIN. We need to start Nuking Islam NOW - again and again until they surrender unconditionally.
Give em 48 hours to leave Damascus then flatten it. Repeat with other terrorist sponsoring cities as needed.

Before we even nuked them, General LeMay led incendiary attacks which decimated civilian populations...100,000 killed in Tokyo in a single evening. It was horrible. But it was neccessary. It was the right thing to do. It is very frustrating that so many FReepers don't get what we are facing with the Islamist terror threat.
