I do not wish to engage in Nazi-like behavior. Nor will I. I believe you don't want to, yet you don't realize that you did by labeling the Muslims as "sub-human vermin". I am aware of the Jews being unjustly labeled as such, but it is not germaine. The Muslims are barbaric and backward, but not subhuman nor vermin. The next step from you rhetoric is being able to kill a Muslim child or woman because you see them as such. If you agree that there are good Muslims than you can not believe that Muslims are subhuman or vermin, unless you think those that are good are good in the way a dog or cat can be. Our troops are fighting a battle for the hearts and minds of the Iraqis and Afghanis as well as the physical battle. Everytime they hand out candy to the kids, treat the sick, ect it sticks with the locals. This is one of the reasons the surge has been successful. I want the bad guys to be afraid of us, but I want those Muslims that we rescued from a evil dictator to feel comfortable enough to come forward with information that will aid in our victory.

barbaric & backwards vs. subhuman vermin

Whatever.

As for the muslims making nice with us in Afghanistan and Iraq, I seriously question their motives.

As for women and children, if they engage they are now combatants and will be dealt with as such.

What will aid in our victory is correctly identifying our enemy. We are at war with islam which means that we are at war with muslims. All of them.

If there are good muslims, they need to police their own. Once I see that, I may change my view. Until then, all muslims are my enemy. They will be treated as such.

I wish it were not this way. I really do.
