Although I applaud your sentiment, and agree with your reaction, I don't believe anyone in power has the intestinal fortitude to do such a thing, nor make the threat to do such a thing. Men like this died when Ronald Reagan left the office.
I heard a story on Houston talk radio yesterday about an army officer who saved American lives by scaring an Iraqi informant with use of his sidearm, and firing two shots in the general direction of the informant's head. The US trained Iraqi police officer who was working for the Bathists was not harmed. After this happened, the Iraqi blabbered, and told the American officer anything he wanted to know. The information given was about an attack on American forces and an attempt to take this particular officer's life. This officer has been relieved of his command and awaits a possible court marshall for his trouble. In my opinion, this Iraqi should have then been shot through the head and the Officer given a medal.
We have become a civilization of cowards, unable to make the tough decisions about our future. Those who do make the tough decisions and are proven right are punished and ridiculed.
Socialism, political correctness, and tolerance will be the death of this society unless our leaders look back on and take up the examples of brave souls who were the saviors of our country in the past.
