To tell the truth I am sick of diversity and tolerance. We ought to resurrect an empire of English speaking nations and shove civilisation down their throats - left to their own devices these countries just snap at us like asps in a basket.

The Americans should bomb the Saudis with Coca Cola, rock and roll, blue jeans and Nikes. The British should pry their jaws open and pour Edradour single malt whiskey down their gullets and force them to listen to the Rolling Stones. Enough of this crap - we should make them civilised whether they like it or not.

Oh yes, and blow up Mecca like we blew up the Reich Chancellery.

I see, so you would want to become the mirror image of the terrorists?

You are assuming that using the values of a civilised society are appropriate for dealing with people who are uncivilised. They will neither respect us for it, nor give us peace - all they understand is a show of force. Well then, they should get it, a lesson that their posterity will remember in fear and dread.

How long would Mecca be off limits if Bin Laden was able to escape and hole up there? Would he then be safe from the "Great Satan?"
