Militant Islam

Whilst I agree that the concept of destroying Mecca and medina with a couple of well placed nukes is a wholly agreeable idea it will do little to deal with the Islamic problem ( the problem with Nazi Germany was not the Reichstag but Hitler and his henchmen)

The real issue is the House of Saud, it has become undeniably clear that 9/11 was a Saudi attack, sponsored and plotted and paid for by Saudis, a serious regime destruction (not a change) is in order here.

Wahhabism is shockingly similar to the blonde arryan ambitions of Herr Hitler with its inherent racist, sexist, feudal, tribal and intolerant policies, propped up by our own petro dollars.

So what about the oil I hear you ask-simple - our new Russian and African allies are marginally less lunatic to deal with and frankly I am sure would love to have the petro dollars flowing their way rather than towards Riyadh, this has the considerable benefit of being a more unpleasant slow burn weapon ( revenge is always best served ice cold) perhaps badging all oil with country of origin in order that consumers can decide whether to pay for Islamic murderers would be a good start.

Given the fact that Bin Laden and his kind actually dont obey any rules why should we ? ( by "we" I mean Christain aethiest jew hindu communist buddhist- pretty much every single non muslim culture on the planet that has suffered at the hands of Islamic intolerance and hatred)

Remember economic power is the biggest stick, use it once for a lifetime of serious pain. Military power is more for surgical incisions. The problem with surgery is that you have to be careful not to cut a main artery otherwise it gets very messy.
