#1 Unfortunately, there is a recipe for disaster here. While one coalition side is terrified of war, the other side is far less so; and worst of all, the Iranians are willing for the Lebanese Shiites to fight to the last drop of their blood, for Iranian aims. And the same with the Syrians.

#2 With the convergence of two things, the oil money and the lethality of weapons, Islam is about to 'splode. I still favor Dave D's and flyover's stop-gap solution: the complete quarantine of Islam from the West... and yes, that includes throwing out every single one of them who doesn't swear absolute fealty - with death for those who prove to be practicing taqiyya. As for any who are known as imams, that option is withdrawn, deport them.

We should step waay back to avoid the splatter.

#3 Don't hold back. Lay down a fatwa on Khamenei's head, dork face. Wouldn't that be like putting out a hit on a mafioso don ? Let's get it on. We want bloood !

#4 Iran & Syria do not fear US/UK attack anymore as we are stuck in IRAQ!!!!

The Airforce should be sufficient to take out Iran!!!

#5 1, Theyve ALREADY taken out choice sunni targets, notably Hariri.

2. This isnt about issues we dont understand, its about power. It just happens that in the muslim world for hundreds of years power was associated with religion, unlike us where its only sometimes been about religion, and often about race or membership in various aristocracies.

Qur'antine, heh! End of story. Use fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to identify those who practice taqqiya and deport every single relative of theirs. There must also be massive military retaliation against any Islamic country that attempts to violate the blockade. We also must intervene to wreck any Islamic attempts to build nuclear weapons. Either we take some sort of comprehensive measures right away or end up with a holocaust later.

#8 So which side of the quarantine wall does Israel end up on?

#9 So which side of the quarantine wall does Israel end up on?

In this scenario, I would envision Israel being an Eastern-most Mediterranean port with a barrier walling them and Jerusalem off from all surrounding countries. Any attacks upon Israel would result in massive retaliation from whatever coalition had the courage to impose this Qur'antine.

#10 I don't mean to be crude, but I can't help it. Whenever I read or hear the word, "Mufti" I think of women's pubic hair.
