The founding fathers finally learned what they had to ultimately do to deal with this ideology the first time around with the Barbary pirates.

Hey, muslims. If the jihadists are giving you a bad name, how about policing your own? If you do nothing to control them, then you tacitly approve....making you irrelevant.

[wctriumph]

If the jihadists acquire a nuke (or 2 or 5 or 10) what do you think they will do with it/them? Will they just say"Look at us, we have nukes, if you don't submit we will use them". Or will they launch or smuggle them into Israel or the US and set them off without warning? Is this what it will take to open people's eyes? In my opinion they will use them without hesitation and laugh when they get a strongly worded letter from the rest of the world.

Right now we don't have a solid target to shoot at. In my opinion we need to let them fight it out among themselves a little while longer until they solidify into a nice large target, then go in and hit the target as hard as we can and destroy it. When the leftover fragments start to settle down we go in and burn them down.

The only way to fight an ideology with weapons is to have an ideology armed with more and better weapons than their ideology is. At some point we will have to use our ideology against their ideology and we must prove to be stronger or we will be living on our knees with a sword always on our necks just waiting for an excuse to fall. If we wait until they come to us it will be too late.

My ideology is Freedom, their's is submission. I made my choice and can live with it. I will fight for it and will not submit to any other ideology.

We should not give a s**t about changing their ideology. We simply have to make it very difficult for them or their progeny to survive the destruction meted out by us. This is the only thing these asswipes understand! Power and destruction! We make it very difficult for them to wage war. They detonate a roadside bomb, we take out half a city. They capture and kill one of our men and then parade the body down the street, we kill 10 of their men we hold as prisoners. The only thing that would stop these ragheads is a superior force dedicated to the entire destruction of their way of life. That is the only deterrent that will stop these fanatics, you make the cost to them of "jihad" too high to continue, just like we did the Japanese. All of this said, I'm not advocating nukes.

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Bozeman, Montana, awaiting their flights.

One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer. Another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East.

Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.

Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"

The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl, "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'."

I'm not sure....

Well played, sir.
