Just ask the Trojans, Carthaginians, and the Native Americans how effective it is.

If you can find one to ask that is...
There are still Native Americans, snipe.

Quite true, though a dirty bomb could easily be large suitcase sized.

Yeah, about 27 of them....

My point was- and i'm sure you'll agree- that the near total destruction of their race made the few remaining N.American indians much easier to deal with.

The methods that you advocate to defend this country are psychotic, plain and simple.

Excellent idea. If, that is, you are willing to throw the Bill of Rights into a paper shredder.

That's what we did in 1944-1945, against Germany and Japan. We're in, arguably, a conflict that is every bit as serious a threat to our existence. This time, we're facing an enemy that wants to destroy our economy (and, thus, destroy EVERYONE'S economy) through terrorist attacks. I don't consider Curtis LeMay pyschotic, I rather admire his balls...

"You're insane. That would cause more terrorist attacks to happen and let me remind you Russian nukes are far from secure including Nuclear suitcase bombs."

No it wouldn't. "The only thing the Arab understands is the heavy hand" - Air Marshall Harris. I tend to strongly agree with this statement. The insurgents in Iraq respect strength. No one would be pyschotic enough to warrant an American retaliatory strike if it was one of destroying a city. Considering the tens of thousands of dead Muslims, in Afghanistan and Iraq, we could have perhaps killed less, and achieved VASTLY more, with my route.

"For starters:
Instituting some real security in this country for a change."

Of course. That has yet to happen. Our legislative system denies the possibility of that happening.

"The methods that you advocate to defend this country are psychotic, plain and simple."

I disagree. I'm not timid. I understand, however, that many people are. So, not everyone will agree with me.

You go brutha!

I am a HUGE fan of the Native Americans warrior ethos.

It's a shame you had to fight us to the last man though....we could really use a couple Indian nations in the fight right about now....

Native Americans are proud sonzabiitches, and THAT'S what i'm talkin' about. As you can see, you're my kinda people...

Some pix of my love nest. :)

LOL.

No more psychotic than advocating a police state cuz.

I'd rather go down fighting muzlims on my own front lawn than go down a defanged biitch in my own homeland, slave to an oppressive police state.

A LOT of people feel that way. I'd rather die first...plain and simple.

Enslaved is enslaved. I'd fight ANYONE that tried to enslave me equally hard. Be that you, some pol, or the stinkin' taliban.

And what the kid proposes is no more than we did in WWII...which most would say is probably THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF WAR IN THE HISTORY OF MAN.

Of course firebombing cities is psychotic. Don't mean it's not effective. As the kid says, take a look at the Dresden or Tokyo attacks sometime.

Tell me that wasn't psychotic. WWII was as OBSCENE as it was EFFECTIVE.

Thanks^ I'm not denying it turns stomachs to consider attacking city, but, look at it this way. We killed some 300,000 people, all things (cancer) considered, in the nuke attacks on Japan. Imagine if Operation Downfall had commenced... it wouldn't have made those nuclear attacks seem so horrible. A really horrible, disturbing action, can have the political, and societal effect of scaring the crap out of your enemy, and disarming them through fear. Or, you could just get into a slow, grinding war of attrition, and lose more people in the long run, but be more desensitized to it.

Worrying about them wanting payback is the same as being afriad to punch the bully that torments you everyday after school in the mouth.

Running scared is no way to conduct a war. It's half-asssed measures that create all the problems to begin with.

M21Snipe,
I can understand your feelings towards a police state. But failure to secure the Mexican Border is another extreme. After all this, they are still debating in Washington how to go about securing the border and now they are prosecuting two border guards who shot a mexican drug smuggler cpl of years back. I hear that guards may get 20 yrs prison term while the drug smugler walks free This is insane.

Alot of things exist. Keep in mind that the terrorists we face are incompetent and retarded. I could make a long list of weapons they could easily procure that could DESTROY our economy. Instead of destroying a chemical shipment going through a major city, they knock down two buildings? These people are horribly misguided, and I am not even talking of their ideology.

"Worrying about them wanting payback is the same as being afriad to punch the bully that torments you everyday after school in the mouth."

EXACTLY! Also, consider that we could hit them according to escalation dominance, and hit them so hard they wouldn't dare hit back.

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!

"^^^Even at the expense of nuclear war? "

"Nuclear" is a word. What does it mean? A nuclear weapon can be anywhere from 1 kiloton yield to 50 megatons. What if we hadn't used the nuclear option in Japan? What if we had gone through with Operation Downfall? Nuclear weapons SAVED LIVES on both sides. People are afraid of nuclear weapons, because they think that in a war, two countries will be TOTALLY annihilated. That just isn't so. Just because McNamara came up with M.A.D. doesn't mean that Nixon didn't phase out that doctrine. M.A.D. "only" called for 30% of the enemies civilian populus to be destroyed, anyways. We're not talking about billions of deaths...

It's unwise to enter into wars unless you really mean it.

So yes, even nuclear wars. If you're prepared to shoot at all you should be prepared to shoot everything.
