yuppers, play their game and play it better, harder and longer.

It's not un-American at all.

The U.S. didn't win WWII by being nice. We won in by firebombing Dresden and dropping the nuke. Twice.

Playing nice is what led to 9/11 in the first place.

Of course, we could make it safer for Americans and just carpet bomb the suicide bomber's hometown instead. More collateral damage, but less American lives at risk.

Punish them until they beg us to stop?

Yes we can!
