This guy is too much of a coward to set forth in detail exactly what he proposes the US do. It is a good thing that nut has no power over American foreign policy whatsoever.

Deniability regarding 911 is least plausible in the case of Saudi Arabia. It was their men, and their money, that took down the World Trade Center towers, a section of the Pentagon, and four airliners carrying Americans. Days after 911, a friend who was teaching in Saudi Arabia wrote that a local imam had argued in the newspaper, that suicide attacks were perfectly justified within Islam, as long as the suicide part was only a means to a greater end, and not an end in itself. There was an article in the Wall Street Journal the other day about how records we seized in Bosnia last year show how three of the richest families in Saudi, including the Mahfouzes, had supported Al Qaeda.

I am notoriously bellicose. So I will say it plainly.
On 9/11/2001, a monstrous act of war was committed. It was worse than Pearl Harbor because it targeted women and children on our soil.
Every Arab or islamic nation is guilty in some degree for supporting and harboring terrorists. It is true we cannot find the individuals 'in the sand'. So be it.
The enemy has told us that there are no innocents, no non-combatants. So be it.
Eventually we will have to deal with them one by one, or all together. I have (quite seriously) advocated nuking every Arab capital; indeed I thought it should have been done on 9/12/2001. The argument is precise: it would not eliminate the terrorist threat, but it would certainly rock it. It would disrupt the governments and financial institutions that support it. AND IT WOULD SEND A MESSAGE. "Message received. No innocents; no exceptions. You wanna play with us? We shall play with all the tools at our disposal."
The United States is trying to explain the Marquis of Queensbury Rules--and trying to fight by them--while the other guy has brass knucks and a broken bottle. That is a good way to lose.
We are in a war for cultural and national survival. A billion people want us dead--or conquered. We may as well get it on now and get it over with.
