But the point of the article is that he *does* care, and if he does, his superstition over that stupid black rock will be enough to hold him in check, if he really believes we'll carry through on a threat to destroy it. (You could be right, but on the other hand, he really *could* be that dumb... religious fanatics have a way of being colossally superstitious, y'know...)

More reason not to worship idols, ragheads... but you're all too stupid to figure that out

It's not possible; but imagine the look on all the middle eastern folk faces if they woke up one morning and all of the Americans were gone. After some celebration how long would it take for them to start watching the sky?

Nuking Mecca presents unknown dangers, like wading in uncharted territory. Nuking a terrorist state's capital is realistic. Think how Japan reacted after we crippled their two cities. On the other hand, had we hit the imperial palace and killed their emperor, they would have fought to death and all the Japanese would have kept on fighting us. Remember the parallelisms.

Saddam's fellow Baathists would sell him out in two seconds for fifty bucks. They don't care whether he lives or dies. The insurgents in Iraq would laugh at a threat to bring Saddam to an untimely demise.

My cousin )Marine) and my brother (SF medic) are over there right now. Neither of them has any illusion about the "good guys" of Islam beating down the gates to help us. Those on our side (barely and untrustworthily) are being paid top dollar for their "loyalty".

And I doubt the denizens of Bagdad are flocking to Internet cafes on every high-tech corner to read and get offended by the FreeRepublic.

LOL!

"Nuking Mecca won't accomplish anything, except alienate...."

Another attack on The United States would alienate Americans to the point of calling for a real photo similar to the one in post 2.

Israel … recognizes that the Aswan Dam is Egypt's Damoclean Sword,"

Israel ,,, recognizes ... the list is long and to the point, my guess.

THIS IS NOT FACT.

It is only conjecture and speculation on your part... in BOTH posts.

You can thank soft people in power for such inaction. RINOs, the liberal state department. Others. The US could easily wipe the floor with North Korea nukes or not.

"Strip him of the jihadi rhetoric and he's just a deranged murderer."

Secularists have a tendency to underestimate the faith of others.

bin laden is what he is because of Islam, and he is a major threat because of the faith in Islam that is shared by hundreds upon hundreds millions of his fellow muslims.

A second attack on the US also presents "unknown dangers" to the terrorists and those that support them. They think they are angery? they are lucky the US was forgiving enough not to use the nuclear option after 9/11. Another attack especially if its a WMD attack could be the straw that break's the camel's back.

If the people called for it, then so be it. Until then we stay the course and keep on eradicating terrorist threats around the world.

Hang in there on North Korea. Things are happening fast in NK right now; enormous pressure is being exerted on the Kim regime from several directions.

Sounds like a great SNL skit. Some of the best comedy bears truth.

Nuking Mecca won't accomplish anything, except alienate almost all the Muslims in the world.

Well... where have you been? Ever heard of 9/11? And we did... what to cause that event?
