Time to Nuke 'em!

You're kidding right?...I mean just a because a foolish man knowingly risks his life, and loses...America is supposed to launch the big boys?

This talk of blaming Daniel Pearl for being kidnapped is DISGUSTING! And I PRAY that they have not killed him and am holding out hope since they are still asking for money and haven't shown his body.

There is something to be said for a policy of going the extra mile to get any American back, even one who himself does not like his country -- even a Johhnie Taliban type, who will face prosecution and perhaps execution after he is rescued.

The enemy needs to know that messing with the USA is a stupid, stupid idea and completely counter to any sense of self-preservation.

"I mean just a because a foolish man knowingly risks his life"

Foolish? He was a journalist doing his job. It can be a dangerous job but he knew the risks and was willing to take them, just like a soldier, a firefighter, or even a window washer. Is everyone with a dangerous job foolish?

I agree nukes are a ridiculous solution, but the poor guy could be dead. Would be nice to show a little respect.
