If we had taken out their moon rock on sept 12 instead of passing a bunch of laws to restrict U.S. citizens the war on terror would be over by now.

Ashcroft cited examples of a couple changes, but I can't remember them at the moment. The gist of both was increased federal powers.
To be applauded by many FReepers I'm sure.

Third world Arabs respond to strength and fear. They'll either gravitate towards strenght as a means of protection/survival or hide from it if it's an adversary. They live in a culture not unlike what we read about in the old testament.
You're right about the drastic measures, we must cause them the primitives police themselves. All of the conventional military victories in the world won't solve the problem of the millions of children they're raising to hate and destroy the West.
Suicide bomber's families need to be gone after and the threat of the end of Islam needs to be on the table. Yes, we could end Islam right now if we had the will or had a mindset similar to theirs.

LOL!
I didn't get you at first, but you made a funny!
I'm like you, every time they start talking about "threats" I gotta wonder if they're real or if someone is pushing for some new empowering (anti-American) legislation.

I agree with your position that if we cannot convince them to police themselves, this will never end.
However, nuking Mecca is not the answer. It would start a global war, and I am not convinced that we would win. Nor would I want to live in the resulting police state.
There exist other, more subtle, ways to convince the Arab nations to police themselves.

I don't want to "nuke Mecca" now, but they need to know that we will if it comes to that. Further, if it does come to that we need to do it, without any hesitation whatsoever.
I disagree that we would not win global war with the Ishmaelites. We most certainly can and would win IMO. We can make them wish that their fraud-demon Mohammed never walked the earth if we should be so inclined.

And while Al Qaeda "could" attack us, the Mexican invasion continues unabated.

To: Brian S
Some of the villagers are weary of this cry of Wolf! and will probably be eaten one of these days. This style of war is just not America's style. Can't we mobilize and have it out once and for all? It's not like we have a grand, new ethical system that everyone understands.

What are you willing to risk to find out? If it means having to give John "agree with me or you're aiding terrorists" Asscroft one more of his freedom grabbing, anti-American bills then I'm willing to risk being killed by terrorists.

Every time one of these animal psychos threatens American's lives we should make it a top priority to find and kill them.Oh, no no no no no, AAA. See, if we try tracking him down here in the USA, we might um, accidently find out that YOU checked out a biography of Malcolm X in your local library...see, John Ashcroft wants to track every move you make and catalog it so he can blackmail you later.
In fact, you better stop reading Free Republic, 'cause someday the Internet Police will knock on your door and ask you why you read such material. <\sarcasm>

Can you tell me one freedom YOU have personally lost since the Patriot Act?
BTW...you may be willing to risk be killed by terrorist, but perhaps the person seated next to you isn't.

Ahscroft has to corner the fear market to maintain his position as the king of chicken little inc .......IMHO I we have no theft then the lock industry goes bankrupt per se !
If our goobermint really wanted to keep us all safe , cars wouldn't go faster than the speed limit, our borders would be closed, all immigrants would have to prove they have worth and can "contribute" to our society versus suck the welfare teat dry.......ect ect ect.
Murderers would be tried, allowed to make two appeals and then be put to death. Criminals would be the manual labor force versus clients or guests at club fed adventure camps we currently call prison.
Our military would be allowed to seek , destroy and leave the nation building to the losers with the understanding that they attack America .....then they foot the bill for life and materials.
I have ideas but don't have the answers............just my opinion of course.
Stay Safe AAA !

The only way to stop terroist attacks in this nation is martial law. Well, it does seem to be working well in Iraq.

There exist other, more subtle, ways to convince the Arab nations to police themselves.Less subtle, yet non violent, ones as well. Like developing our own oil reserves instead of buying theirs. Without our money inflow, they fall apart overnight, IMO.

These jerks said, "let's all be nice so we don't piss off the Islamic (the religeon of peace) people" (that live for no other reason than killing people).
If there is another 9/11 type of attack on this country, I would sure-as-sh!t nuke Mecca. I'm fed up, sick and tired of the liberal Jane Fonda peacenik mentality in this country. Furthermore, I could give a damn what our allies (France/Germany) think.

Why is it that suicide attacks have become such a popular military tactic in the last 50 years? Answer: Because in the past, entire families, villages, towns, cities, and even nations would have been wiped out in responses to such attacks. The last people to do suicide attacks on Americans (and military forces at that) ended up with the rubble of two of their cities glowing in the dark.
