I don't believe that I said anything about genocide. What I did say is that if we level Baghdad and make it clear that the capitals of the other Arab states that sponsor terrorists are next, I think that would send a clear message. Everything would change. Right now the Arabs see us as weak and unwilling to even defend our own people. We need to prove to them that we can if necessary be as ruthless as they are. The Arab mind is twisted in that way. Killing innocents and civilians is seen as a sign or courage and a badge of honor worthy of respect. Sooner of later we need to come to that or we will remain targets and continue having our people killed needlessly. That's the reality that we are, or are not as it seems, dealing with.

Even though there might be some among us who favor this approach, since we are a pluralistic society it will not now, nor will ever happen.
