It'll take salt of the earth like the British 'soccer hooligans' to craft an appropriate response to this menace while your adored leaders and the rest of overeducated Westerners like this John Howard blabber historically ignorant nonsense in their inconsequential speechifying such as the following from your link:

Yeah, let's threaten to nuke Mecca and let the cockroaches stop and wonder if we are going to do it or not. A threat, and a little test somewhere in a nearby desert might just scare the sunni shiite out of them, which is something of the sort that the great Mark Helprin would probably recommend (look him up.)
