My point exactly. Contrary to some people's beliefs, we actually have been brutal enough to defeat this type of enemy, just look at history. But, it takes a Pearl Harbor or a 911 to solidify public opinion to support this type of reprisal. The resolve will be there, because the Muslims do not rerally understand us. They think they can just keep tweaking us and we will never do anything about it. At some point they will go to far and then Mecca will be incinerated.
Read Hanson's Soul of Battle, its all right there.

Unfortunately I do not think 9/11 resolved this country the way it should have. Hope I am wrong there but I doubt it. The Americans of wars past had more resolve than most do today in my opinion. We're too soft and like 30 minute sitcom answers.

I believe that will only happen after a "dirty bomb" incinerates a major city over here. I hope I am wrong but I don't have a lot of faith in the resolve and determination of my countrymen these days.
