FOr PAX AMERICANA to work we need to take a page from PAX ROMANA. The people living under Roman rule enjoyed the highest standard of living and greatest life expectancy of any population before the 19th century. They had two iron clad rules; pay your taxes and don't cause political trouble. Violation of either of these two rules brought immediate and catastrophic consequences. As a result, trouble was relatively rare. The next time there is trouble like this the Suni Triangle should become a foot note in a history book!

The people who did this are cowards who carry pictures of goats in their wallets and eat pork with their left hand. They have no manhood but must squat to urinate. We should drop leaflets with wanted posters and pictures of these heathens and broadcast this message on the Fallujah radio stations every 30 minutes. Use Photoshop to impose their faces on bodies with obvious genital deficiencies. Make them live with the insults day after day. Record female laughter and use it while describing their lack of masculinity.
Keep it up day after day after day....

I say we take off and nuke 'em from orbit

if only we had the "Rods from God" we could have caught them in the act!

[Natural Law]

Sounds good to me.

[Old Grumpy]

Let's bomb the hell out of them!

[winker]

You would be better served talking to a rock somewhere, the agenda is already set!

I'm all for leveling every town in the Sunni Triangle. Who's with me???

No. The proper response is to sit down with the city leadership and tell them to produce the killers within 24 hours or face strict martial law. Bring in overwhelming force. Shoot on sight.

The victims were trained professionals and should have known what they were going into. They miscalculated the risk and were killed. This is exactly what I've worried about since the great rush to hire former Special Operations personnel in the private sector. There is no excuse for such careless disregard for their safety.

Special Operations personnel are not supermen and far too many are arrogant and reckless. Any organization which falls into the trap of hiring a security consultant because the personnel are rough tough and anxious should think twice before venturing into the risky business of being tough without being stupid.

I will admit to a strong bias in the security field against hiring any one who has ever been trained in special operations regardless of rank.

I do not grieve their deaths nearly as much as I despise the lack of leadership ability of the firm that hired them.

I definately agree. That whole area is a breeding ground for rerrorist, and will become a bigger problem in the future.

[razorback-bert]

Disagree.

[harrowup]

There has been a glorification of the role of Special Operations by this administration which is harmful to good order and discipline. Now that the private sector has been engaged the recklessness of some of these commando junkies will prove to be a horrific mistake. For whatever reason, Rumsfeld and his advisors have forgotten that special operations work best out of sight, not running around in Kia SUVs going hoo ha.
