Actually, you are wrong on both accounts.

I am not in Tokyo, and

I am not thinking in Western terms, I am thinking in scorched earth, machiavellian-third world terms.

Where your logic goes wrong is that for the islamic, all entrance to paradise is denied if the earthly body is defiled after death. I am calling for the defilement of terrorist's bodies with pork--and for this fact to be widely know. Any terrorist who commits suicide or is other wise caught and killed will have no further comfort in his mind that he will go to the paradise in the ever after. THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL BE PARAMOUNT IN HIS MIND AND WHICH WILL STOP BOMBINGS AND SUICIDAL ACTIONS. There is nothing less to appeal to in his/her base heart that is effective, but this.

That's an unreasonable characterization, and about as nonsensical as calling Stalin Churchill's 'best buddy'. Enemy of my enemy my friend. Iran was the bigger enemy at the time.

Everything is relative to today's political needs and spin. Interesting how so many fall for that.

We put them on the map and we can take them off.

Who will you watch instead Peach? Seriously, I can't stomach CNN and MSNBC isn't far behind. Forget the alphabet-soup networks. Just doesn't leave much to choose from, which is the crux of the problem IMO.

Why isn't there a conservative funded news network? or two or three or four?

The UN has once again proven its worthlessness.

The irony of it, is that it is THEY who are thought by the world community to be the representatives of peace, but it is WE who are the real instrument of peace and security in the world........thanks to the strength and will of our President and his administration.

Imagine being such a loser that you have to stalk other posters on the internet and copy and paste what they say.

I like this man's example:

...."there was never a doubt in mind that at the end of the day it would be exactly as our people said it would be: The regime would be gone, the Iraqi people would be free." "A low point in terms of doubting, no sir, I never had it." He added that on a particularly bad day he told his staff and the commanders: "Don't ever, ever second-guess what you are doing. You are doing a wonderful job. Get your heads up and it will turn out just fine." ~ Gen. Franks.

The mullahs will just rule that the soul of the deceased goes directly to paradise without regard to the condition of the corpse. Anyway, only ghouls defile bodies. We are not that and hopefully never will be.

It's magic...the UN is suddenly fighting a war on terror and bringing up the possibility that the war on terror is a world war.

No kiddin'. HOW many times have Americans tried to get this point across, only to have the UN Security Council turn a deaf ear??

Whatever will France and Germany say?

It's extremely sad that it took a terrorist bite out of hte hand that fed and enabled them for years and the deaths of innocent people to wake the UN up.

Now...WHERE WAS THE UN'S SECURITY? The UN is responsible for it's OWN security and has PROVIDED it's own security.

Absolutely agree: wrap their bodies in pigskin and hang the mess from a gibbet in a box till it putrifies. Word'll get out real quick that if you're caught or even if you blow yourself up and their are identifiable pieces, you'll be dipped in pig lard and hung to dry.

No American life should be sacrificed to defend the UN.
