People nowadays seem to forget or they apparently never knew that during World War Two, Imperial Japan’s armed services were the al Qaeda of that era.
They though it was the greatest thing in the world to die for their Emperor. We finally found that we had to fight them to win and did so when we showed them that if they all wanted to die for their Emperor, we would accommodate them with atomic weapons.
To defeat al Qaeda and the growing world of Islamic terrorists dead set on killing all of us as a religiously necessary Jihad, we need to fight them the same way and if necessary, use nuclear weapons before they use nuclear weapons on us.

Go Japan, show Red China how the cow chews the curd— Heavens knows our current resident in the White House won’t.

We had lost 100K GI's fighting the Japanese, along with 300K fighting the Axis powers in Europe. I think it was clear that we had sacrificed enough men to merit trying bigger weapons. It was also pretty clear that Hitler and Hirohito were the commanders-in-chief of the major Axis powers. With al Qaeda, a lot of the sponsorship comes from princelings or rich Muslims who are looking to replace the current rulers. So it would be kind of difficult to justify incinerating a Muslim city just to get at some conspirator trying to enthrone himself at the expense of the current royals.

So, live and let live, eh? We just continue letting al Qaeda and other Islamic Terrorists take support from Muslim ruled countries and many, if not a majority, of their populations to kill our citizens and troops as normal church doctrine?

Granted, not each and ever follower of the Islamic faith are true, blue dedicated 100 percent to their religion just as not every Protestant, Catholic or Jew is set on their particular theology. However the basic tenet of Islam since Muhammad founded the religion is to convert or kill all infidel non believers.

Each religion down deep believes theirs is the one and only true way to a life after death, but Islam is the only one that tells its followers to go out and actually kill non believers as a matter of fact to gain a clear path to the afterlife.

So, what to do? I would rather fight to win as quickly as possible rather than let them literally nickle and dime us to death for years and years to come.

BTW at the Battle of Changban (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Fei):

In 208, following the death of Liu Biao, Cao Cao launched a southern campaign to attack Jing Province. Liu Bei abandoned Xinye and led his followers, including both his troops and civilians, on an exodus towards Xiakou. Cao Cao's army caught up with the dilatory mass at Changban, Dangyang, after pursuing them for a day and a night. Zhang Fei led 20 horsemen to act as the rearguard and covered Liu Bei's escape. When they had all crossed the river, Zhang Fei ordered the bridges to be destroyed. He held his position at the opposite bank and shouted at the incoming enemy, "I'm Zhang Yide ("Yide" was Zhang Fei's style name). Come and fight me to the death!" No one dared to approach him and Zhang Fei successfully bought time for Liu Bei and his men to escape safely.

Seems your namesake was no live and let live wussy either--
