"Flatten Mecca."
Counterproductive. Flatten Tehran and all of Iran's nuclear facilities. Try to pinpoint where Bin Laden and Al Zawahiri are hiding, and carpet bomb. Tell any nation harboring terrorists that they're next.
I like it. No more "Mr. Sensitive Nice Guy." Dang, we're in a war! Bush needs to go back and read his speeches in the weeks after 9/11. When it comes to dealing with nuclear nutballs, I don't care if we make a few mistakes and take out the wrong city. The Cowboy needs to return. The Islamonuts see us as too politically correct and culturally bankrupt to defend ourselves, and so they're planning on walking all over us. I'd prefer it was them instead of us that gets thrown on the ash heap of history.
I do like your solution, but would add flatted Damascus as well.
Where is Base Commander Ripper when we need him?

Just curious-
What happens to the environment when a nuclear facility is bombed? Will it be another Chernobyl? Not that it matters that much if the alternative is that WE get hit with Nukes first.
Counterproductive.
Really?
muslims think that it is protected by allah (piss be upon him), and can never be destroyed...so it would basically show them that allah either does not exist, or is not powerful enough to protect his temple.
Blowing up the silly rock might do more to demoralize these maniacs than anything else we could do to them.
Or would it?
Let's say that we pulverize this thing. It's entirely possible that the muslim imams would twist it around to suggest that it was actually allah that blew up the holy meteor to send a message to the muslims that he is displeased that all of the faithful muslims are not joining the fight against the West. I don't think like a muslim, and I am thankful for that.
That said, I say we do it and see what happens. At the very least it would turn this war into a war, and not a "situation".
Okay who needs Teheran? What's one city between friends especially considering 911. But finding those nuke sites is going to be tougher. They learned from the Israeli attack on Iraq in 1980. The installations are well spread out, hardened and hidden. Can't nuke the country, especially if we want the oil and we do.
