Now you've taken the analogy too far.
I was simply pointing out that we are undertaking an impractical
response with
our determination to militarily subdue any and all countries where a
terrorist
is reputed to live.

We will wind up with the rest of the world so ****ed at us, we won't be
able to
kill terrorists as fast as they're being born.
That's what the terrorists are counting on, IMO. They expect the US to
act like
macho cowboys, and so become our *own* worst enemy.



Most of the rest of the world already is ****ed at us, Brother Gould.

You would think the United States would have learned a lesson from the
protracted conflict between the State of Israel and the so-called
Palestinians. Every time Israel takes out a handful of known terrorists
(and some bystanders), 10 more pop up to take their place.

That's because Israel has been handcuffed and hasn't been able to go after
the source of the problem...the countries which support them, namely Iran
and Syria.

Once Syria's and Iran's support for Hezbollah and Hamas is gone (via our or
Israel's inevitable military action in those countries), the
Palestinian/Israeli conflict will be almost non-existent.

BTW--If Putin reaches the conclusion that Iran is funding al Qaeda, and al
Qaeda played a role in the massacre of those kids, Iran is toast...Bush will
have his coalition for the next stage in the war against terror.










One of the most serious problems facing Israel is the extraordinarily
high Palestinian birth rate. And that's an issue we too will face with
the Islamist world.

We're are NOT going to be able to defeat the Islamists and their goal of
creating havoc for the United States through our use of traditional
military force. Our only hope is the use of diplomacy, combined with the
use of intel that allows us to remove the ringleaders and their key
personnel on an on-going basis.

There are terrorists out there who have or soon will have access to a
nuclear bomb. You can bet on it. It takes no great skill to bring such a
device into one of our cities and set it off. Any serious Islamist
student of physics can do the job.

If it happens, and I hope it doesn't, I hope the terrorists pick a
target deep in the heart of...Bush country. Let Bush's most fervent
supporters pay the price for his idiocy, intstead of continuing on their
free ride.
