If Mr. Giuliani can convince me that he is that no-nonsense guy who will nuke-em if necessary and who understands the existential nature of the Islamic War I would vote for him. So far he reminds me too much of Nixon who was a great international political chess player but couldn't see beyond the board. It would help if Giuliani shows he understands that this is, in fact, the Islamic War, and not some "war" on Terror or against AQ. Bush's problem is he named the war appropriately to his vision. He refuses to see that it is a war against resurgent Islam. He is history-deficient. No, we don't have to exterminate Mohammedans but they must be dealt a massive defeat such as was visited upon Germany and Japan. They must be made aware that Allah does not wish them to prevail in the world in this generation. Islam cannot be finally beaten. The Jihad can only be temporarily aborted and put off for a few generations short of conversion to Christianity or Scientology or something or economic development to affluence that seems to be precluded by Islam itself.
