Excuse my anti-Muslim prejudice, bias and anti-Islamofascism racism,...but, I vote for removing all of Islam from the earth.

Ka Boom!....Goodbye Allah.

Those bozos implicitly rely on our magnanimity even in an overt conflict situation. There are some lows we would never touch, we're the good side after all.

If God forbid, we were to play by their rules, we wouldn't even have to get off the couch to launch a long-distance mini-armageddon.

Instead, we put effort into avoiding collateral damage, precision targeting etc and even put boots on the ground to protect and recosntruct. Where's the freakin' comparison??

My friend, you do not have to remove all of Iran from the face of the earth. You do not even have to blow up one nuclear facility to cure the "Iranian" nuclear problem. All that has to happen is for the Coalition to destroy any oil producing capability in the entire country, and at the same time destroy the entire Syrian military machine, both ground and air. Both economies will immediately collapse and Iran and Syria as they now exist will exist no more. Yes, some pain in the oil markets will occur, but that pain will be short lived at best. And....the beauty of this plan is that the civilian population will incur minimal damage, and will quickly send the nutcases that run these countries to their legions of virgins in the sky!!! Ah, what a little creative thinking will do. At the end of the day, folks, Uncle Same holds all the cards, if he will only play. Get to it, GW Bush!!!! The traitor, treason, weakling Democrat scum/vermin party will do nothing but destroy the USA!!!

Well maybe you're right, but I still want to "blow em real good".

You're right, they Syrian's do deserve to get whacked. The Mullahs of Iran too.

I still think we should just kill em all and let Allah sort em out. In a year, no one would give a damn about the Muslims. Screw em.

I think all the recent blustering, posturing, and saber rattling of the Iranian theocracy is more an attempt to bolster their standing in the Islamic world than frighten their Western enemies. As Shiite Persians surrounded by a sea of Sunni Arabs, they have more to fear from their 'brothers' than they do from the infidels.

Whoop-de-do.

We bomb them, they hit us at home and the invasion goes in. Or we bomb them, they hit us everywhere but home and the invasion doesn't go in. Unless gasoline prices here go over $6 a gallon.

Their choice.

They are striking American Military targets in Iraq almost every day now, what would change? My bet is that if we do a whole scale full military Air Strike they would be hurt so bad that they could not field so many insurgents so easily.
