The west cannot possibly police these groups without help from Arab governments. We have to make it clear to the Arab world: if they allow something like this to happen, the first wave of our nuclear retaliation will include this target: Mecca.

There is no future for Islam without Mecca. It is their most vulnerable point. And we should be pressing it.
I understand. I also see from our actions that not only are those cards NOT on the table, they've been removed from the deck. We evidently do not have the resolve to win this. JMO. And no, I don't particularly like it.
Better yet, sieze the Gulf oil fields.
Nothing will take the wind (and the money) out of the terrorists' sails faster than that.
