If you take the trouble to read this thread, you'll see that my charge of "acting like nazis" is reserved for those who are calling for the flattening of cities, and killing of the inhabitants therein, in retaliation for terrorist acts.

This is precisely the method and motive for atrocities such as the nazis perpetrated in Lidice, Czechoslovakia, in response to the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich by Czech partisans.

One kind soul on this thread even went so far as to recommend that anybody who attempted to escape should be shot dead. (From the Lidice link: "No one was allowed to leave the village; a 12 year old boy and a peasant woman were shot as they tried to escape.")

The rest of your rant is wasted on me. I am well aware that we are at war with vermin. I am glad to hear reports when the vermin are killed, and agree that they should be killed without mercy.

Unlike some on this thread, however, I choose not to classify all Iraqis as worthy of such treatment. I cannot avoid pointing out that the "kill 'em all" crowd has, in effect, decided that Iraqis in general are the same sort of vermin as the terrorists -- which again parallels the rather similar opinion of the nazis toward, say, the Ukrainians.

So do you think God was a Nazi? Because that is EXACTLY what He told Israel to do when they took a country. He even had their animals slaughtered to exterminate any future problems. Personally I like God's way of thinking, it works. If muslims were to take our country, I'd rather be dead and I hope they use the same principles. I'm not suggesting anything for them I am not willing to take myself, but then that is usually why its called WAR, and someone WILL win.
