Perhaps we should issue a very public warning to Iran, main spiritual home of this garbage and main enabler of terrorism. For example, "any act of atomic terrorism anywhere in the world will be treated by the United States as an attack on itself by Iran, and subject to a full nuclear retaliation".

This would put the onus on the Iranian government to get control of the loose cannons out there (and they know who and where they are - after all, they are financing them).

Add North Korea to this statement. Make it clear that we will nuke both and let someone else sort it culpability in the afterlife.

Are you joking?

You and I are probably in the minority, but this would really be an answer! A lot of these countries ARE playing and sponsoring terror while maintaining plausible deniability by supporting these terror operatives covertly. Call a spade a spade. Say it the way it is as Bush did with his "axis of evil" where some laughed but he was actually 100% dead on. If we see terrorism we should retaliate, as we did in Afghanistan and Iraq. If they use nukes anywhere we SHOULD retaliate disproportionately by turning their whole country into a glass palace and ending their entire civilization. If you’re dealing with an idiot who can’t be dealt with by any other means; where economic, political and rational appeals have all failed, yet he insists on your destruction (not defeat, big difference) you are left with NO option other to fight. Many don’t see this, but we really have no options here and just blasting them to hell would be a viable solution to this problem. The alternative is decades of pain, thousands of US soldiers’ dead, billions and over decades maybe even a trillion plus spent on something which could be ended with one REAL “Shock and Awe” event such as plastering Iran with 40-50 nukes strategically placed in a near simultaneous attack.

Actually, our "allies" Saudi Arabia and nuclear prolifirator Pakistan are even worse. Russia is building Iran a nuke reactor, that does have duel usability. Pakistan is giving them actual nuclear bomb material and knowledge and missile technology, but we do nothing to stop them, so as not to piss them off?

I've been saying this since 2001.

When the asymmetric war became obvious and the SMs* launched their multimillion $ propaganda campaign to remind us that they were "untouchable", because our Western sense of justice, fair play and morality prevented us from doing the obvious. First we would need to sacrifice thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, both military and civilian deaths to "prove" we are "good" people.

For each SM* killer, there are 10 immediate bodies providing money, training, preparation, support, material, planning. For each one of those there are a hundred who have direct knowledge of exactly what's happening and for each one of those, there are a hundred who suspect what's happening. Do the math.

The perfect silence in the SM* muslim world tells me all I need to know. I would just start with their capitals. Make it clear ASAP that every SM* muslim capital will get attention in proportion to the severity of the next SM* terrorist attack. Starting with their most valuable targets. If the Euroeunuchs even think of intervening, and they are already petrified of the muslims among them, let's see how attractive a nuclear exchange sounds to them. The next SM* "nuisance" within the continental U.S. should be interesting.

*SM© = Sweet Muslims

Let us not forget about Syria.

They are suspiciouslyy quiet these days

yet they are a conduit to Iraq for illicit

weapons and terrorists.

To make both Damascus and Tehran dead zones would not be a bad thing.
