#1 Good. It's going to take a lot more killing in Iraq to get the job done there. The sooner they get started, the sooner it will be finished.

#4 Death has shown remarkable success in deterring second offenses. When those 'second offenses' seem to include car bombing women and children in a market or mosque by the scores or hundreds, it is an unnecessary burden for society to deal with.

#5 It's so nice to see them print the good news once in a while.

#6 OK, Amnesty. Now start noticing all the "death penalties" dealt out against innocent people going about their daily lives by the jihadis.

Or would you lose some of your funding if you don't attack the US and our allies?

#7 How does this compare to the death toll that followed in the wake of Iran's revolution?

#8 From the movie "True Lies":

Helen: Have you ever killed anyone?
Harry: Yeah, but they were all bad.
