![]() "Judah" wrote in message ... I wasn't talking about morals. I was talking about reality and history. If the Arab nations who sponsor these terrorists succeed in their plans, their own history books will write it off as the Great War for Islamic Independence during which their freedom fighters performed attack after attack until the Imperialist Oppressors were finally conquered. If we sit back and wait for it to happen, we will be written off in history as the once great, but now fallen American Imperialist Empire. And if we win we will be the bringers of light and freedom to the world. The winner always writes the history so what |

So the world is full of terrorists, and has been for thousands of years.
The only way to deal with terrorists is to put the fear back into their own hearts... "S Green" wrote in : "Judah" wrote in message ... I wasn't talking about morals.

Sure it is.
The way to do it is to show them that the families they left behind will not be rewarded for their actions. The way to do it is to show that the punishment for suicide bombing is, for example, the destruction of their home and the exile of their families. Another alternative is to show their leaders what happens when they attack our innocents... That's what worked in Hiroshima and Nagasaki... ospam (Rosspilot) wrote in : The only way to deal with terrorists is to put the fear back into their own hearts...

No. That is precisely what the terrorists are attempting to goad us into doing. Their goal is the radicalization of the whole Ialamic world. The destruction of their homes and the exile of their families would be an immense propaganda victory for them. Indiscriminate vengeance and retaliation are their game; we'd be fools to play it. That's what worked in Hiroshima and Nagasaki... Not analagous. For one thing, no one is in a position to "surrender" for the terrorists. If Bin Laden, for instance, were to reach an accomodation with the U. S., he would be denounced as a sellout and replaced by other radicals eager to assume the title of Supreme Defender of Islam. -- Dan C172RG at BFM (remove pants to reply by email) |

So what do you suggest?
I think if we draw the line for countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Morroco, it will be clear that they support the terrorists... "Dan Luke" wrote in : "Judah" wrote: Sure it is.

May not be that simple. For example, my understanding is that Al Queda is looking to unseat the present government in Saudi Arabia so the government is fighting Al Queda and their ilk, yet there are people and organizations in Saudi Arabia that are funding and quite sympathetic of these same groups. |
