That partitioning thing sounds like a plan. It makes no sense at all to leave such a valuable world commodity in the hands of religious fanatics and potentates whose worldview and system of government hearken back to the Middle Ages.

It should be noted, of course, that we have no interest at all in Mecca and Medina, and the Muslims can have those cities as long as they like. Since almost every nation in that region was set up by the Western powers anyway, it shouldn't cause too much trouble, should it? Unless, of course, it really is about the money for them.

It would be most enlightening to see the reaction, should such a plan ever be proposed. I wonder how many "princes" would gladly toss Islam to the weeds to maintain their fabulous wealth and power.

Come now. Surely we can spare a warhead for each.

Or perhaps just inundate the KaaBa with pig blood. Either one would be satisfactory.

We should take the pumps. They're by the coast. There's only seven of them. Take them. Screw the rest of the land. Kill anything within 500 yards of the perimeter.
Don't waste ammo taking their stinking towns.
