The world, and even America, keeps forgetting that one simple fact of history: When our backs are against the wall and we are faced with a choice of fighting or dying/surrender, Americans have always fought and fought hard.

The terrorist's allies, the "anti-war" left, keep stating that we cannot kill an Idea (radical islam or terrorism). They seem to ignore that this is exactly what the islamofacists are trying to do to the world. The ideas of freedom, tolerance, inclusion, and human rights are the antithesis of the islamofacist mentality. From the inaction of the "moderate Muslims" and reading of the Koran I am leaning to include almost all of Islam in this assessment.

The terrorists could care less about diplomacy (unless it is used as a stall tactic) and could give a goats rear about any laws but Sharia. When faced with such a foe, the ONLY recourse we have is force and lots of it.

When (not if) the Islamofacists use nuclear weapons against Israel and/or the United States, the gloves will come off and there will be no holding back the wrath of the USA.

A side benefit will be the obliteration of the Anti-American left in the process as the sniping spinless traitors they really are.

"The terrorists could care less about diplomacy (unless it is used as a stall tactic) and could give a goats rear about any laws but Sharia. When faced with such a foe, the ONLY recourse we have is force and lots of it."

More to the point, the only thing these people understand is brutal force. Pure BFAFI.

The need to be crushed, ground into the dirt, and all their lands salted. That, they will understand. And until such time as we decide this is what needs to be done, they will continue their perilous atrocities.

At the start of WWII, England fought in a gentlemanly fashion, not hitting until they were first hit and scrupulously confining themselves to military targets. Then Hitler flagrantly violated that covenant by bombing civilian neighborhoods in London and other British cities, with the sole objective of terrorizing the British people. It took a few years but when the Allies had the power to retaliate they used it, bombing German cities with a rather half-hearted regard for whether targets were military or civilian and needlessly annihilating Dresden in what many think was a payback for Coventry. In the end, over ten percent of Germany’s people died in the war.

The terrorist's allies, the "anti-war" left, keep stating that we cannot kill an Idea (radical islam or terrorism). They seem to ignore that this is exactly what the islamofacists are trying to do to the world.

This excellent author, and BLUELANCER have it right. This WILL BE THE RESULT if the Mooslims don't start purging themselves of their radicals:

-------------------------------------------------

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

The war on terror ends with the death of the last moslem. This is one case where genocide is our only option.

I for one would not be bothered to see the entire moslem world changed into one glowing sheet of glass. (assuming we could still get the oil out from under it. Wasn't it carter who cancelled the neutron bomb?) We are in a time of kill or be killed.
