You guys think name-calling is a substitute for argument" You think posting ghoulish picture is the equivalent of rational conversation?

Even since its founding in the seventh century, Islam has been at war with the West, with Christianity. You can look it up, you know. The history books will tell you why Bosnia is Muslim and that the Ottoman Turks were stopped from enslaving Europe--forcibly converting Christians to Islam at the gates of Vienna in 1653. Islam is on the warpath again.

The blasts of explosives in Bali, Africa, at the Marine Barracks in Beirut, at the WTC in New York and the Pentagon, and the USS Cole aren't mythical. We are at war with Islam, and we better win.

There's nothing flaky about Trentino's scenario--which is probably why you people resort to name-calling. It's time to be serious.

I can't speak for the oyhers but when I see something as world-class stupid as this piece of rambleing tripe I am forced to fall back on name calling.

His prescription is completely flakey because there are lower-level solutions he skips over - namely, dealing more definitively with the Pals themselves. It's irresponsible and immoral to drag in other nations unless necessary. By doing so, Israel would lose the moral high ground, and world opinion with it. Even her friends, few as they are, would be hard-pressed to defend her actions. Much ground would be lost.
