Is it your belief that WWIII will never take place?

I don't profess to believe anything of the kind, either way.

It is not predestined, if that's your implication.

If we took a poll, how many FReepers do you think would agree with the proposition that Saddam Hussein must be taken out even if it meant going to war against Islam?

Remember, our erstwhile ally, Pakistan, is both an Islamic state and a nuclear power, with delivery vehicles.

Terrorist attacks are terrible, no question. The perps of 9/11 and the suicide bombers in Israel and their masters need to be rounded up and shot.

But launching a nuclear war is an order of magnitude more serious, with consequences no one here can imagine. That's why I get particularly irate when posters flippantly suggest turning Baghdad into glass or dropping a neutron bomb on Mecca.

Such talk is not only pre-adolescent and hate-filled, it is downright dangerous. The fact that John Major goes way out on a limb in making threats he can't carry out is lamentable, but when Americans advocate extermination of Islam as if it were vermin, as I've seen too often on these threads, how do you think the rest of the world is going to react? Is it any wonder that Bush gets a cool reception for his plans to effect a "regime change" in Iraq when we have so many loose cannons wanting to continue the war even further?

You must mistake me for some long-haired-hippy-type-pinko-fag if you think I want the war to be contained, or to serve as some sort of empty vengence for 9/11.

I want to see real nukes taking out real enemies of the US. That includes kyoto signatories as well. Iraq is small change, in my book, and not worthy of any more than a fraction of our current arsenal.

We don't want to continue the war even further. Muslim militants all over the world have the ultimate goal of world domination. That is their stated goal and we have to be prepared to take any action we need to in order to stop them. Ultimately that may include using nuclear weapons if, in the name of the Islamic Nation, the militant Muslim vanguard escalates their holy war and use weapons of mass destruction against us and the rest of the non-Muslim world.
