So we've all just been pissing in the wind and haven't even begun to fight.

You can tell that to the next of kin of the troops we have lost.

That sounds high and mighty until you actually take the time and think....what have we changed over there that will stop islam from trying again.

Answer.....nothing, until the hearts and minds have been turned away from islam, islam in any form will continue to kill, enslave and try for world domination and it does not matter how long it takes because that is the basic teachings in the koran.

The most we are doing is slowing them down so that a future generation must deal with it, just as history has shown over and over and over again.

I get frustrated with it, too, but it serves a purpose. We don't have the means or the will to "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out." We never have. The adults in charge know this, so softer approaches have been tried and are meeting with success, but not fast enough to suit anybody. We are in places and doing things that would be impossible without the cooperation of Muslims. I think the Muslims cooperating with us have already rejected your Option #1.
That might be part of the Islamic Reformation right there.

Most people in the Muslim world are not that savvy.

I don't think it is good for Free Republic to be a source of attributable anti-Muslim genocide rhetoric. Do you?

Personally, I do not think that reminding the islamic world that the west has nukes is a problem in the least. If there are those in the islamic world stupid enough to that think the people in the west are crazy enough to use(even with the cold war as example) them perhaps some thought might go into their wanting to save their own children instead of just trying to kill mine.

Besides Bush has already told them when we will use nukes and it does not include the thoughts of a bunch of testosterone and teens on the internet in the decision making, which they are bright enough to understand or they would have given up their war on terror and be terrorized themselves.

Four Afghans gunned down by peacekeepers as protests intensify

You have advised the Commander of Maimana PRT to upon up with 7.62mm ball until all the protesters were down or gone?

[Cannoneer No. 4]

open up with 7.62mm

[Cannoneer No. 4]

Afghanistan has changed. When we leave that country it will be a functioning state that does not allow itself to be used as a base for attacks against the US. That's what we went over there to do. That's what we will have done by the time we leave.

We would not have made much progress if we had approached the locals with your attitude. You don't win hearts and minds by trying to rip their hearts out of their chests.

[Cannoneer No. 4]

So, yes you do think it is good for Free Republic to be a source of attributable anti-Muslim genocide rhetoric

or

no, you don't think it is good for Free Republic to be a source of attributable anti-Muslim genocide rhetoric?

[Little Ray]

I'd advise somthing more potent than just 7.62... Got any M-2s, flamethrowers, rockets or claymores? Maybe some arty with beehive or cannister?
Object of the exercise is to teach a lesson that will stick with 'em for generations: "Your grand-daddy effed with the Norwegians and grandma never did find all the pieces... you be a good boy or else they'll get you, too!"

Muslim institute dares Iranian leader to visit Auschwitz

The moderate muslims you speak of are sure beating a path to their local media outlet and voicing their concerns.

Some of them are.

You and I are never going to see eye to eye but it does make for good debate. Keep up the good work!
