#2 "I think they use too many sticks..."

Sticks? More like fluffy pillows, so far. Your 15 minutes are up, Hans. Go away.

#6 I'm very confused, didn't he die? I seem to remember some kind of sharks tank... I saw that in a documentary on the WOT. When did he come back? And HOW?

Watch the Roger Moore James Bonds and look what the villain named Jaws does when he falls in a tank with a shark.

#10 "Any unilateral movement could trigger an arms race over fears that any country that perfected a missile defense shield would have an incredible advantage over the others."

Yup, it's the countries that are trying to defend themselves from these crazies that are to blame.

#11 That last paragraph is proof that this buffoon thinks that MAD is the proper state of the world.

Even better, he's in favor of a multi-lateral MAD instead of the binary version of the cold war. What he wants is the ability of any tin-pot madman to have the ability to initiate Armageddon.

#13 I think they use too many sticks and they should use more carrots

Blix has already demonstrated total moral atrophy in dealing with Islam. If there is one lesson to be carried away from Islam it is how the only "carrot" that works with respect to Muslims is a "stick". Islam must be rewarded with violence at every turn until it either pacifies itself or goes extinct.

Islam's use of taqiyya totally precludes all other forms of diplomacy.

There can be no deals made, truces reached or accords met with those that will lie, cheat and reneg on every single agreement they make when the time suits them. Violenceharsh and brutal at all turnsis all that can obtain any correction of Islam's deep and abiding character flaws. Anything less plays into Muslim hands and only serves to exacerbate the problem.

Islam does and will continue to abuse every single decent and honorable feature of Western civilization until we finally learn to retract such courtesies in our dealings with Muslims.

Such vast ingratitude should be all the indication we need to know that there shall be no peace with Islam save the peace of the grave. Only behavior modification through the application of lethal force or simple eradication will yield any results.

Islam's self-sanctioned treachery voids all moral calculus in dealing with it.

Showing any humanity to Islam only empowers it. To give it the least respite only permits Islam to better arm itself. To treat with Muslims as equals only legitimizes their filthy theocratic doctrine. If Islam had even a shred of decency to iteven a single redeeming featuresuch might not be the case. Instead, Islam is so morally void and incapable of being trusted in any respect that all notions of humanity must be discarded in dealing with it. To give Islam the least quarter is to enable it to commit yet one more damnable atrocity against humanity. Cause for any hesitation or uncertainty ended a long, long time ago. We in the West are complete fools to show any restraint and Muslims openly taunt us as idiots or paper tigers because of it. How can Islam make the folly of our niceity any more clear to us? Will it truly require them to commit this world's first terrorist nuclear attack before we wake up to this realization?

#15 Reducing Iran's nuclear programs to rubble would be reacting. Reducing them to a glassy plain would be over-reacting. But I could go with it.

Wouldn't that be genocide? Please try to be honest in your reply.

#17 My subject was nuclear programs, not all of Iran. I think it's clear from #13 that "lethal force or eradication" (Zenster's words) of the whole Muslim world is Zenster's preferred approach. THAT'S genocide.

#18 Erasing an ideology from the planet isn't "genocide"--erasing a "people" is.

#19 I think it's clear from #13 that "lethal force or eradication" (Zenster's words) of the whole Muslim world is Zenster's preferred approach. THAT'S genocide.

It's readily apparent that you really enjoy quoting out of context. I suggest you grow up and learn some intellectual honesty.

Islam must be rewarded with violence at every turn until it either pacifies itself or goes extinct.

Notice how the first alternative I present is one involving Islam's reformation over to a peacefully coexisting entity? I doubt that you even bothered to.

Only behavior modification through the application of lethal force or simple eradication will yield any results.

Notice how my first priority is "behavior modification"something that can only be applied to living human beingsand not the less desirable alternative of eradication? No doubt you were too hurriedly selecting only the most damning words possible instead of actually considering the true gist of my writing.

Reducing them to a glassy plain would be over-reacting. But I could go with it.

A "glassy plain" connotes extensive nuclear damage on a widespread basis. Many of Iran's nuclear sites are near large populations centersa favorite terrorist tactic to discourage attacks or retaliationsuch that anything but an extremely low-yield nuclear devicethe kind that DO NOT create a "glassy plain"would kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people.

Far be it from you to possibly note how I have consistently come down AGAINST first use of nuclear weapons in the MME (Muslim Middle East). Yes, my position is steadily being eroded by continuing Islamic atrocities but nowhere have I reversed my consistent stand in this respect.

You, Darrell, on the other hand, have routinely used every sort of lie, misquote and smear possible to accuse me of genocide and then try to qualify yourself out of it when called upon it. You are the worst sort of hypocrite.

Word, Crusader. Islam must go.

#21 Zenster, squeal all you want and smear me all you want, but your intentions are well known by your rantings.

#22 Well, yes, Darrell. We have had this discussion with Zenster before. There are those of us who think there might be smarter ways to deal with Islam than nuking a billion or more people. But we need to wake up fast and get started on them. One way is to call bull$h!t on them whenever they start rioting or seething over cartoons. We more cartoons and need high profile individuals like the president and the pope to step up to the plate and tell them how ridiculous their reactions to the cartoons are.

We need to smack them back hard whenever they try to venture beyond their boundaries in places like Kosovo and Kashmir. We need to bomb the f*ck out Iran yesterday. Then we need to do something about Pakistan's nukes, hopefully with India's help.

That's just the beginning. In places like France when they riot they need to be hosed down with grapeshot. In places like Italy and the UK when they try to build mosques they should not be allowed to use any foreign (read Soddy) funding. This list goes on and on.

The fear is that if we don't stand up to them now we will end up in a position where extreme action is necessary later on. It's like when Hitler was violating the treaties that ended World War I. When he first stepped out of line, and before he was allowed to build up such a strong Wehrmacht, he should have been smacked. But Roosevelt and Chamberlain were asleep at the switch just like so many of our politicians are today. They thought they could avoid war by appeasing the mad man. That's how we ended up with World War II and the holocaust and it is also how we could end up with another world wide conflagration. What's that old saying about a "stitch in time"?

If and when we finally get their attention and convince them that we will not become dhimmis then we can have some rational discussions with them about the merits, or lack thereof, of the bogus and perverted religion they call Islam.

#23 More unsubstantiated accusations. No cites, direct quotes or other legitimate evidence. Just your own unqualified pronouncement. Selectively administered, no less. Keep on repeating the "Big Lie", Darrell, it worked so well for the Nazis and Islam seems rather fond of it as well. Fortunately, only morons and losers will believe you.

#25 I'm with you on all of that, Abu.

Zenster, just bear in mind that you plainly called for "behavior modification through the application of lethal force or simple eradication" (#13). Giving the choice of "lethal" or "eradication", it is you that are homicidal at best and genocidal at worst.

#27 Darrell, you have already demonstrated sufficient intellectual dishonesty to where engaging you further is a waste of this board's bandwidth. Either you provide some direct quotes from my past posts to prove your case or know that intelligent people will regard you as a gibbering little cretin who singles me out when many others here suggest the same as I do or far worse. Your debating skills leave entirely too much to be desired. Thank you for proving this in spades during today's exchanges. You have single-handedly done more to discredit yourself than I could have in dozens of posts.
