Mr. Steyn is wrong here.
We no longer need to be forced to share the planet with 6th century savages. Half a dozen nukes and a few tons of nerve gas would end our problem with these “people” for a thousand years. And their goat humping, child sodomizing, satan worshipping cohorts would piss their pants and beg our mercy for 5 or 6 centuries.
At this point I’d settle for that.
The primary advantage of going all Charles Martel on the goat humping middle eastern gomers with nukes is that the oil will be unaffected. It is so deep that it will be unharmed. The problem is the radiation. The oil workers will only be allowed to work a few months a year due to the radiation load.
