Nope. Sure won't. Remember, it's honourable to these people to die in the name of their religion/beliefs/whatever.

As such, they believe the Americans turning one of their cities into a glass parking lot would be nothing more than honourably sending its citizens off to their new home in the sky.

And as long as they don't fear death and there's one of them still alive, they will aim to kill as many Americans as they can one way or another.

Via that method, this is not a battle you can win.

And for all those apathetic/pro-american types who aren't interested in hating America, try smoking one of their cities, thereby killing the apathetic/pro-American's parents or cousins, or brothers, or sisters, or wives. All you'll have done is created yourself a fresh new crop of American haters who now have nothing to lose.

Great idea.

Shall we start with Dublin?

Or Paris?

How about Washington?

All three of those governments have backed terrorist attacks on their enemies, so obviously the kids in the street deserve to die.


Obviously bombing Dublin and Paris is out of the question, but I'd be willing to bet that a public poll would probably show surprisingly strong support for bombing the House of Representatives off the map while they're in session.

____ So I am becoming a grumpy old man, I am sure that there are Sat. Photos of various training camps, those would be a good place to start. Also a Neuc. is too expensive for those bomber types, (Fuel+Air Explosive) Propane bomb, cheap, good coverage, no nasty contamination.

____ Why should the rest of the world live in fear of a few cowards?? Declare a war and come out of your little hidey holes and fight.

Bacon and beer are the solutions. If you wanna board the plane, a security person should offer you a bacon sandwich or a small glass of beer. If you decline both, you go join the Gitmo line. End of.

Do you know how much the airlines would charge for sub-standard bacon and beer? Alot!

I say the have a pedistle with a koran on it right before your board the plane and everyone has to spit on it before boarding the plane.

That's not even funny as a joke.

It's nonsense like this that spawns terrorism in the first place.

THE VAST VAST VAST VAST *VAST* majority of people who read the Qu'ran are law-abiding, peace-loving, PEOPLE. Desecrating it would serve no purpose other than to piss off those who don't already hate you.

Suggesting someone eat pork is a harmless joke.

Suggesting someone desecrate a religion by spitting on its bible is not.

Quote from a former Soviet commander in Afghanistan (from memory)...
quote:
These people don't have bases, they have houses.
We'd raid a village looking for mujahadeen, and kill a dozen people, maybe 2 or 3 of them had been mujahadeen, but every son, brother, father, uncle, and cousin of those we killed became our sworn enemy. The next time we went to that village, we found not 2 mujahadeen, but 200.

Why should the world live in fear of death from the sky because someone in Kabul told someone in Cairo who told someone in Jerusalem who told someone in Washington that he thinks someone in your village might do something bad?

Remember, American 'intelligence reports' don't have a great reputation these days.

____ I actually prefer a good single Malt, there are only two countries famous for single malt. Now that and a nice BLT would be good.

Not by a long shot. I can't stand the stuff either.

Good bacon, on the other hand, is awesome. Unfortunately it's also not common.

If they use American bacon, and American beer, I'm taking the train.

____ Question time.


____ Many of the News broadcasts will show google earth, zoom down and there are pictures of a bunch of people carring offensive weapons, maybe we should use the News groups for recon?????
