"Bet she regrets asking her question..."

[milwaukeeshaker]

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.
