“My idea of peace through strength involves pointing a few nuclear-tipped missles at Mecca with the understanding that Mecca would be vaporized if the hair of an American were so much as mussed by an angry Muslim. “
.. inasmuch as Americans have alrady been killed by terrorists, and not a one of them were resident of Mecca, either this is faux bravado or a most horrific statement of xenophobic prejudice. This deathwish on (mostly nonviolent) muslims could be paired neatly with the blind rage of the terrorists themselves, who went after innocents in the twin towers in their rage against USA.
You can’t get lower than that blundering stupidity.
Then explain the hundreds of nuclear warheads we once had aimed at the Soviet Union.
