Phantom,
(Excuse this post coming to you but the moderator pulled the #1 post where I would normally put this.)
"James",
You wrote:
"...one undisputable fact is that America will never be able to use its missiles and nukes to eliminate others even if it wanted to. It would be a suicide."
I reply:
"No, it is suicide for you (the Ummah) to assume we would never reach point were we would use WMD against you without regard for the "innocent" (who strangely appear to care only for Muslim children and not ours) or the material destruction these weapons cause. Continue to attack us and you will find that point is a lot closer than you think. Once without constraint, you will be amazed at the real destructive capabilities of the United States once fully unleashed. It may be important to YOU that there are living Muslims in (fill in the favorite Muslim country of your choice) but I am rapidly reaching the point where it makes little difference to ME. One further comment, remember the United States has actually used nuclear weapons to end a war."
Jay Severin, subbing for Boortz last week suggested that President Bush should warn AQ and all Muslim countries that upon the next attack on America we will go "Truman On Your Ass."
