Instead of tit for tat, and making our men into firing squads, id rather see a day of honesty. We notify Saudi Arabia that the game is over. The next attack traced to a wahabbist element, including any wahabbist mosque in America, will result in the seizure of their oil fields. It would be child’s play for us.
Then give them 24 hrs to evacuate mecca at which time 7 or 8 hydrogen bombs will hit it.
And then we just go back to being normal “America” the classic version, without the universal domestic surveillance, without the brushfire wars without end, without using torture of any type. Let them chase down all their own loose ends.
I certainly don’t mind that idea all to much, though it does seem a bit disproportionate. The Saudis, while to a degree culpable, are not directly responsible, and the idea that things would go back to normal after that is a complete pipe dream. Once you make Mecca in a slag heap, you better be ready for a total war until Islam is no more.
I do see a case where Mecca should be a slag heap, that is the moment some Muzzie nukes a U.S. city. At that point there needs to be a new crusade and not one with limited objectives. There needs to be a complete eradication of that moon god murder cult. Right now there is no way to get enough support for it. If a U.S. city ends up a radioactive crater, the support will be there.
