Damascus needs to disappear literally and then Tehran if the rockets do not stop flying into Israel.

Hi Norm, I agree. In the days immediately following 9/11/01, while waiting for a meeting to commence at work, I and a few others were talking about nuking Mecca or something. Interestingly, a very devout and kindly Jewish manager said no, that would make matters worse. Although I understand his point of view, I don't agree with it. I think that although a well-placed nuke won't win us any friends, it will win us respect and fear. I'd much rather have the latter.

Not that I advocate this but... If we were to do this thing, and then be standing there with the rest of our arsenal bristling, saying to the world "How you like me now?", what could they really say?

Of course it would be the end of globalizm, and internationalizm, and the UN, but some would question whether those things were such a good idear in the first place.

Funny you should mention that. As a bit of trivia, Damascus is the oldest, continually occupied city in the world. It's first mentioned in Genesis.

But here are some passages that deal with its future:

Isaiah 17:1:
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

17:3 Fortified cities will disappear from Ephraim,
and Damascus will lose its kingdom.
The survivors in Syria will end up like the splendor of the Israelites,”says the Lord who commands armies.

I'm wondering if this will be the logical conclusion to this confrontation....
