When the United States and the rest of the world finally understands that these "sand for brains" bastards have no more mental capacity than a rabid dog, we might begin making some headway.
You don't capture, try, convict, and imprison rabid dogs...You PUT THEM DOWN!
End of story.
Somebody the other day was trying to convince me that we can stop the terrorists by talking w/their leaders (the higher up, political figures). I tried to communicate to him that the political leaders don't control the fanatics (like your analogy to the rabid dog), certainly not like one would control or command an army, and that their supposed "leaders" aren't interested in our reasoning.
Where do people get off thinking we can reason w/fanatics or their supposed leaders?
