Personal responsibility - that's what it's all about.

Hussein, Zarkawi, Bin Laden and many other middle eastern "leaders" are wicked man who do evil things.  Islamofacist terrorists are evil incarnate, doing bad things to innocent people.

When will the people of the mideast take responsibility for cleaning up and running their own "neighborhoods" in an orderly fashion?  Will they ever?  There are centuries, literally a millenium, of evidence that they WILL NOT.  Should we in the west continue to put up with the consequences of thier inaction?

If there is even a single additional Islamofascist terrorist act like 9/11/01, why wouldn't, why shouldn't  we wipe out the mid east?  Yes, this means killing TENS OF MILLIONS of innocent men, women and children but it will stop the exportation of mid-east violence by those few evil men.

The people of the middle east are responsible for this.  They need to be held accountable.  THEY must clean up their acts.  It is not up to us.  

Please discuss.

Been discussed. IBTL.

FWIW read "Imperial Hubris", it essentially supports what you're saying. You must be willing to wage MASSIVE war against militant - and marginally militant - Islam, or you will fail.

Does only the immediate heat blast turn sand to glass, or does the pressure wave also create a second type/grade of glass?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Perhaps if we quit exporting shitloads of money, the impact would be muted.

Good point.

So, no one else wants to weigh in on whether the death of 10,000,000 middle easterners is adequate to compensate us for the lives of 3,000 American dead due to Islamofasciit terrorism here in the USA?  

What if it were closer to 100,000,000 middle easterners?  Would that be adequate?  What does it take?  What is a fair exchange rate these days?

Am I?  How so?  The topic and this solution was brought up by one of the guys around the lunch table.  It spurred a vigorous debate.  I thought I'd like to hear from you guys on the subject.  I guess there are few/no takers.
