#2 Boris--

Just highlight the last sentence. Then type ctrl-C (apple-C if on a Macintosh) and then ctrl (or apple) V. There's another post for you and $5 from Iranian intelligence! You know, I was thinking that it might be better for them to pay you in the child pornography you like so much--ask your accountant to see if "barter" gives more favorable tax treatment.

#3 You just don't understand. That is not Islam. Islam rejects brutal killing of Moslems. I expect the Egyptian was a Copt and had it coming.

#4 Oh, so Islam does not reject brutal killing of non-moslems then?

I see.

You know, the West is *very very very* good at being brutal when pushed to it. Read up on what the RAF did to Dresden in Feb '45 - 40,000+ burned alive. And that was to Westerners - with 1945 technology. We've come a long long way since then. Pray that we don't get 'brutal'.

Would you care to comment on the events in Beslan? The brutal killing of kids ok with Islam is it?

#5 Tony - I've always found it fascinating that those who prey upon the weak(er) lose touch with the provable fact that no matter how tough and ruthless they think they are, there's always somebody who could give them lessons. The jihadists live in a bubble of fantasy. The world is waking up - and as you clearly point out, there are people who could easily pop their bubble.

#6 Quite so .com, quite so.

I've posted several times here about the "The Three Conjectures", the firepower on *1* Ohio class submarine and, going back some, what the West did to *fellow Westerners* just 60 years ago. I do it to inform people like Gentle what is at stake here. They truly believe that the West will just keep taking these attrocities, and continue giving concessions. My point is that even if the US does nothing (which is certainly not a given), there is still Russia and China in the wings (neither of whom has cared too much about killing vast numbers of their *own* citizens, let alone anyone elses!) There's even Israel - who is quite capable of reducing all major Islamic population centres to radioactive rubble - although with Israel, I feel that will only be used as a "Samson Option".

Wake up Gentle and co.! - the sands are running out, and making comments like "I expect the Egyptian was a Copt and had it coming" does not enamour your belief system to people who really *can* screw up your day!

#7 Ummmm The Gentle Men was a sarcastic post (not mine)
