You'd never get back out, there's a giant mutant ant-lion in the bottom... it eats THEM. :)

And if you did survive the fall, you'd probably give yourself a wee dose, too.

What the allies did in WW2 was perfectly moral. The reason we won World War 2. We fought more brutally than they did. We bombed the Germans and Japanese into submission. You don't win wars by being less nasty than your enemy. IslamiNazis won't be defeated by showing them peace signs and handing them flowers.

BIN LADEN HAS RELIGIOUS APPROVAL TO USE A NUCLEAR BOMB AGAINST AMERICANS

[ScholarWarrior]

Ok. And if one goes off, we have free rein. Release the hounds.

We joke about nuking Mecca. It doesn't seem like the moral or American thing to do. But, I wonder if we should start considering what actually would deter the extreme Muslims.

They don't care about protecting their women or children, outfitting them with suicide bombs. I assume that the US military would wipe out all military installations in the anti-American Muslim world if we are nuked. But would even that demoralize them?

If we were to level Mecca that might get their attention. It would that prove that their god is false.

This article sounds like propaganda, and it is comforting to believe that al Qaeda isn't up to building a nuke. However, we discovered plans to build nukes on their computers captured in Afghanistan. They have lots of money and contacts with Iran, NK and Pakistan. When Libya gave up their WMDs, we discovered a large underground covert nuclear weapons supply network.

The Bush admin has been warning us that the goobers could one day nuke one of our cities. It isn't so far out there.

I agree. We bombed them into submission and invaded them and defeated them every way...militarily, industrially, politically, and morally too. My original point on this thread (lost and misunderstood long ago by those who cannot read well) was that you do not win by making terroristic THREATS to bomb RELIGIOUS SITES.

You win by doing what we are doing. Actual ordnance laid onto military and terrorist installations; deposing of leaders; manhunts of the enemy leaders; killing of the enemy; and keeping the moral "high ground" in the propaganda aspect of the war.

Never THREATEN...state your POLICY....act if it is not heeded.

When your enemy does not care what you do to him because of the expected reward in the great beyond, your only possible way to win is unacceptable mass-murder, or what we are doing, i.e., changing his societies from hate-filled dictatorships to democracies so they will come into the modern world. It is called democratization. If it can be achieved, the Islamics will see that there is more to life than hating America.

This is a much longer and more difficult road to travel. It requires steadfast committment. I am not optimistic that America will stay the course on this since we have learned to avoid doing difficult things or things that take longer than a month to achieve.

We have to be more moral than our enemy and not resort to his kind of tactics.

Seriously, Why do you say this? And exactly what are you saying?

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

We know that unrestricted anti-civilian warfare can collapse societies and permit their reconstruction along acceptaable lines.

What is the evidence that "democratization" can, in fact, be achieved along the lines you suggest?
