I have a real aversion to killing people who are not connected to a deed.
One of the most despicable aspects of terrorism is the random killing of innocents.
Academically, sure the whole of Islam is problematic, but do we really want to kill innocents randomly also?
I’ll touch on the drivers of the fuel trucks. I’m doing it because they knew they were driving for ISIS. You don’t warn them because you want others to fear driving fuel trucks for ISIS. There’s a logical military reason for the action there.
Just up and killing a city worth of people doesn’t sit well with me, unless it can be explained how they were directly complicit.
This is a decision I would make with a team of top level advisors.
I don’t have a great answer here.
Creative, proportional, meaningful, and an example of where thing were headed if some common sense didn’t start coming into play.
Then escalate the future costs until some rationality took over.
We may have to do some very distasteful things. I wouldn’t go to the max out of the box.
Once you’ve done your worst, there’s no way to do worse.
At some point I’d start eradicating symbols if Islam. Eventually Mecca would be on the line.
I understand that people don’t want a lot of collateral damage. But you have to remember that it is Islam we are talking about.
These are people who celebrate when their grown children blow themselves up in a suicide attack.
They hand out candy when thousands of innocents are murdered.
They strap explosives onto their small children and send them to their deaths.
Rational thought does not enter the equation.
There is only one way to combat such people and that is with total war.
You can never win their hearts and minds.
You can never get them to hold an honest and rational discussion because their religion, which governs every aspect of their lives, teaches them to lie to nonbelievers.
There are only two kinds of muzlims: the ones who are actively trying to kill you and the rest who support the killers.
The few good muzlims are the ones who leave the religion of hate and embrace Jesus as Lord. All others are either killers or enablers.
And even the children can never be trusted.
Nits make lice as we used to say.
Like I said, total war is the only solution. We could wipe out half the muzlim population worldwide and only delay the end solution.
Islam and those who practice it are incompatible with decent society.
I would rather take on the job now and ensure my grandchildren have a safe world to live in.
Brutal?
Sure, but the muzlim is even more brutal.
I simply see them as they are, not as I wish they were.
Because they live there, and they didn't rise up to oppose the evil. Just like Japan, just like Germany. (You're either with us, or you're against us)
A terrorist attacks us in the US, we remove their city.
do we really want to kill innocents randomly also?
At this point, since Obama, the 3Ms have pretty much already killed them. Not looking too good on our part.
Rewrite their Koran for them... Take out ALL the bits that cause them to kill, maim and destroy, remove the bits about sharia... Print billions of copies and distribute them world wide.
...with a warning... That this is the only acceptable Muslim religion. This is your chance to practice your religion peacefully... Choose the violent alternative and you sign your death warrant.
...and... Its some folks full time job going around and actually killing the folks who chose poorly...
