#1 I think we should storm the Moskkk in Fraudi Arabia, and hold that big square rock hostage, until Islam agrees to withdraw from the rest of the world. Suicide will suffice in most cases. Let's see how they like being held hostage.

#3 Maybe the Russians need to start taking out the Chechen terrorists that they have in custody if the terrorists at the school do not give themselves up.

#4 Maybe the Russians should take their own Chechyan hostages out in front of the school when they do it, so the guys inside know exactly what and why.

Hopefully the Russans improved their sleep gas.

#6 Perhaps now would be a good time for Secretary Powell to let it be known that the US has nearly zero interest in the rogue state of Chechnya, and yes I hear ya Aris.

#7 Hostage-takers demand Russian withdrawl from Chechnya

If there was one single act that could have galvanized Russian support for the extermination of all Chechen separatists, they managed to find it.

#1 I think we should storm the Moskkk in Fraudi Arabia, and hold that big square rock hostage, until Islam agrees to withdraw from the rest of the world. Suicide will suffice in most cases. Let's see how they like being held hostage.

I've been shouting this from the rooftops here at Rantburg for some time now. Either we declare a policy of retaliation in kind against the Saudi shrines, or we take these sites by force and hold them hostage to disrupt each and every Haj until there is a 24 month period free of Islamist terrorism.

Due to the decentralized and transnational nature of global terrorism, this represents one of the only levers that will apply pressure on each and every single Islamist. Moderate Muslims will finally come to understand that there is a palpable price for inaction against the violent jihadists within their ranks. Either they do something about it or face being denied one of the five pillars of their faith.

Far too many resources that rightfully should be directed towards eliminating famine, illiteracy, disease and human rights abuse are instead being squandered on combating an incredibly assymmetrical attack waged by the most heinous foes to be seen since Nazi Germany. Just as Islam remains unable to collectively condemn terrorism as a whole, it may well be time to make them suffer as a whole for this unforgivable moral lapse. All I know is that it is costing our planet TRILLIONS of dollars to fight this minuscule but virulent enemy. This is an utterly obscene diversion of vitally needed resources and requires that we find an alternative method of deterrance. As always, I'm happy to consider any other suggestions that would achieve the same end more effectively.
