NATO is now the Taliban. This insanity has got to stop!

Well said. Even FDR had the sense not to bomb Kyoto and Nara during WWII.

“Carthago delinda est”, as we Europeans used to say in days of yore. Friggin’ Phoenecian troublemakers in it for the oil (whatever that is).

"It was here. The battlefield was here. The Carthaginians defending the city were attacked by three Roman Legions. Carthaginians were proud and brave but they couldn't hold. They were massacred. Arab women stripped them of their tunics and their swords and lances. The soldiers lay naked in the sun. Two thousand years ago; and I was here."

Wasn’t it Monte Cassino monastery that was destroyed in WWII because the allies thought there were German guns there?

Yeah i allways wanted that my tax money gets blown up in north africa helpin muslims against muslims who at the end will hate “us” anyway.

Very astute observation, where the reality of those who hate us now, in this reality, will hate us in the next reality. My compliments to you. Your observation proves some realities will remain the same which was not a part of my statement of observation.

Actually, NATO cannot promise to leave the ruins alone because then that is where the "enemy" would stash all his stuff. It is like swearing not to bomb hospitals. That promise guarantees that the enemy, especially communists or Moslems will turn hospitals into headquarters and ammo dumps etc.

That said it is appalling that we are attacking the dictator who, while not exactly "on our side" had dumped his nuclear ambitiions and quit giving the US a hard time. We are trying to trade him for an AQ sharia regime.

Get some; it may take some time to subdue the hostiles, but eventually the inferiority of their society will be their doom and damnation.

As a vietnam vet I learned. If you go to war, you simply kick ass, totally and absolutely. If you don’t wamt to offend anyone, don’t fight. If you have reason to offend them, give it all you’ve got, as fast as you can give it! No U.S. leader who can’t comprehend “fusted with the mostest” or “war is hell” need apply for the job. If you need to fight the bastards, whomever they may be, you need to kill them.You need to destroy their economy. You need to make it clear to others who think like they do that if you want to fight us, you are dead meat from the get-go Get it! Got it! Good
