I have been saying for years that we are rapidly becoming a country of talking heads and paper pushers. We, as a country, produce very little today. Almost all of our manufactured goods come from China, Mexico or India. Even our steel and rubber products come from foriegn countries. Anyone who does not believe me should go Christmas shopping this year at Lowe's, Home Depot, WalMart, KMart, Miejer etal with the intent of only buying products made in the USA. You will leave with very light bags. Even many car parts and raw materials for making automotive products come from out of the country.

I don't know if his premise is correct about destroying the economy, but he definitely has a strong grasp of what our economy is built on.

As for retaliation forget Syria, Iraq and Iran. If one bomb goes off anywhere in the US, Mecca and Medina cease to exist. Then maybe we will see how long their Muslim buddies are willing to fight when they bow to the East and see nothing but a smoking ruin.

These people only understand one thing and that is brutal force. The Russians, who are maybe a little less PC than we are, understand that. Not only did they kill the terroist, with some loss of life of their own people, they desecrated their bodies so they can't go get their virgins. It may seem repulsive, but remember who we are dealing with here. If we had a theatre full of people taken hostage we would still be negotiating and turning terrorist loose by the dozens. To do otherwise would bring down the wrath of the Media. They went after Putin pretty hard, but I doubt he cared.

I hate to say this but it may eventually take a lot of killing, the spilling of a lot of Muslim blood and lot of pig fat to bring a stop to this foolishness.

I can't imagine a better motivator for them. Like using your tool to stir up a nest of fireants. No, while you might want to hit the holy cities, the most important thing is to remove their ability to fight, symbolic targets have no place in such an effort. Of course removing that ability might mean killing them all. But if you are going to do Mecca, Medina, Oom, etc, then you might as well kill them all, because if you don't you will have to fight them all.
