| #9 The west clearly has embraced a fair degree of decadence. The question is whether the rot is fundamental or can be cured. |

| #8 JOE might be on to something. After reading about this week's Gold Plated Sculpture of Tom Cruises's kids poop - that's supposed to fetch $30,000 - mebbe we ARE all going to hell. "Hollyweird" indeed! |

| #7 my uncle's retired from working at Lawrence Livermore (won't talk about his work, still). We were talking about the ME and how "Neutron bombs" were prohibited (by Carter, I believe) after a big stink over the ethics/morality. He said the lab had complied....but that all nukes emit lotsa neutrons, then he smiled...so basically we still have em, they just don't call em that anymore. That's all he'll say about his work. :-) |

| #6 Just start producing enhanced radiation weapons. I hate to admit just how right you may be, Nimble Spemble. Better to use neutron bombs than conventional weapons if we are forced to sterilize the Muslim world. We need to make an example out of Iran. It should be the Middle East's last warning before we take it apart at the seams. |

| #5 Just start producing enhanced radiation weapons. Just use the ones we have now. The contamination they will leave will work on those not gotten by the initial blasts. Besides, we can tell Al-Gore that the "nuclear winter" will stop Global Warming. Two birds with one stone and all that. |

| #3 Herein lies the rub: ... in an age of weapons of mass destruction, global terrorism, and culpable deniability, authoritarian Middle Eastern regimes can, without being traced, subsidize and sanction killers, who in turn, with the right weapons, can kill and maim tens of thousands. The decentralized nature of Islamic Fascism permits it to scurry from hiding place to hiding place, ostensibly without nationality or military uniform and insignia. It taunts us in televised diatribes as it simultaneously plots the next atrocity. It milks plausible deniability like the last cow on the farm. This must end. If we are to be collectively punished for the high crime of being decadent Westerners, then all Islam must be held accountable for its misdeeds. There is no alternative nor is there any hope unless we escalate the force with which we redress these continuing crimes against humanity. These piecemeal interventions and enforcements are less than ineffectual. They embolden our foes while scattering our troops and materiel until they are diffused into a pale shadow of real power. No longer can we afford to excuse the way Islamic governments covertly shelter or even overtly sponsor terrorists. To do so must carry an unmistakable price tag. We must put all of these duplicitous abettors on notice that they will be brought to account. Saudi Arabia must be informed that, should it continue promoting and exporting wahbbism, its oil fields will be wrested from their grasp. Pakistan must be told that failure to close its madrassahs will find them demolished, with their occupants inside. Iran must be put on notice to immediately cease its pursuit of nuclear weapons or face regime change and economic ruin. And so on down the list of terrorist facilitators. Finally, all of them must be instructed that total ruin awaits them should another Islamist atrocity play out on our shores. That they must police their own fanatics or know that death and destruction will be the price for inaction. How no alternative exists save that of putting a halt to the terrorist juggernaut they have all cheered on secretly and condemned publically. The only alternative is to sit quietly and await some new atrocity that will make 9-11 pale by comparison. This is not an option, neither is the display of any compassion for our foes. They have forfeited such courtesy with constant perfidy and rapacious violence. So be it, we must be courageous enough to make them foot the bill. Otherwise we shall pay with our very lives. |

| #1 DEMOLEFT > anti-sovereign, anti-American Amerikan HyperGovt, Universal Governmentism, geopol retreat-isoationism, and paying our enemies not to hurt us, or at least interrupt the Hollyweird orgy(s), will save us. THe polite but necessary extermination of 90%-plus of the USA's + World's population is good for everybody + planet + will cause the Sun/Asteroids to start obeying mortal man. Amerika can AAAAATTTTTTTAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKK, iINVA-A-A-A-D-D-D-E-E-E......., and make WWWARRRRRRRRRR....., AS LONG AS AMERICA = AMERIKA DOESN'T HURT OR DESTROY ANYONE OR ANYTHING, OR HURT OUR ENEMIES" FEELINGS, OR POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT. OUR ENEMIES, OTOH, CAN ATTAOCK AND DESTROY US AT THEIR LEISURE. And just becuz America is a representative democracy/democratic republic doesn't mean our elected leaders have to explain WHY?WHAT?WHEN? WHERE? and HOW? of why America needs OWG and Global Socialism-Welfarism-Totalitarianism!? |
