Which way do I lean? I don't see a difference? It sucks. it is tragic for those involved but it is also acceptable overall given the cost of stopping it completely.
You say no attack on US soil is acceptable, ok, how do you propose you stop those two examples I gave? There is no PC there, there is reality. Some things you cannot stop except by blind luck. A madman that wants to kill a bunch of people either at a marathon or an elementary school is among those things.
Ok, THIS could be interesting. ISIS May Target Mecca for Destruction
Islam isn't going to "reform" itself so that it can peacefully co-exist with the rest of the world, but it might just self destruct (especially if given the appropriate pushes in the right places).
Thing is Islam is pretty easy to monkey wrench as it has some pretty harsh divisions between sects that make the Northern Ireland Catholic vs Protestant thing look like a minor dispute between friendly neighbors.
Since The West isn't interested in genocidal war (and honestly I have moral qualms about it as well) pushing Islam into civil war is probably our best bet. Wish I had some way to smuggle an Iranian financed North Korean nuke into Mecca.
I think it would be a great thing if they would destory mecca. Then if the idiots would accidently blow up the dome of the rock while they are shooting rockets into Israel that would be a great encore. Lets see the mooslims implode. yeah, kill yourselves and leave us non savages out of it.
