Hey Michael, what would Jesus do. I am more inclined to think that
rehabilitation would be a better solution. Some of these extremist,
once deprogrammed form their hate/fear, might even become law abiding
citizens, willing to work towards a world filled with peace and
harmony. You cannot fight terror with terror; because, it only adds
fuel to the flames of fear/hate. Terror breeds Terror, hate/fear breeds
more hate/fear. It would be better to rehabilitate and forgiven, than
to enlarge the circle of violence which is cyclically self perpetuating.
1) What is needed is diplomacy that brings mutual respect and
understanding between competing factions. We need a strong UN,
respected by all parties, and capable of mediating disputes in a fair
and impartial manner.
2) Next we should begin to deal with the root causes that are driving
Islamic extremism, like social injustices because of discrimination in
employment, religious and racial bigotry, and discrimination in the
criminal justice system, for example.
3) Also, Americans need to realize they are allowing the new media,
Evangelical Christians, and the Neo-conservative Bush Administration to
terrorize and propagandize the public with fears of impending doom from
radical Islamist. Consequently, the America public is sending
representative to Washington that are bargaining away their
constituent's rights, freedoms, due process, and privacy guaranteed by
the Constitution and Bill of Rights. If Americans allow their
Constitutional rights to be bargained away for a promise by our
government of protection, Americans will neither be free or safe,
because that is a fools bargain. It is up to the America people to
fight the fight, and walk the walk to protect American and keep her
independent and free. If the American people don't take a stand today,
the Neo-conservative will be writing a book in about two year titled
"How to turn a Democratic Free Society into a Police Dictatorship in
Eight Short Years".
The Bush Administration policies to terrorize the ME, and especially
Iraq, by bombing any country that poses the slightest threat to Israel
or the US back into the 17th Century, has been proved a failed policy.
We need a new enlighten direction for our country, and we need to help
all countries to grow and prosper, even as the US grows and prospers.

I think we should start the healing process with the
Muslim world by
putting the neocons, starting with the architect of

Wolfowitz, on trail for war crimes, i.e. mass murder
and the destruction
of a country for special interest motives. That
wouldn't be the end of
it because we'll still have to deal with Big Oil and
the MI Complex's
involvement, and getting AIPAC out of this country
and putting Israel in
it's place, but it's all interwoven - as that trial
would bring out.
Such a trial will rivet the attention of the world
and give us a real
chance to actually end what they started.
Oh, you say you're not tired of war yet? It's not
your mother in your
kitchen crying, or your brother in a wheel chair, so
why stop the drama
now? You want to let it go on for another couple of
years, so we can
have this conversation again, around the time we're
at each other's
throats over it?
And for what? Is it that we're all making so much
money off the MI
complex? Big Oil? Are we collectively programmed to
be so terrified of
the anti-Semitic finger that we just don't talk
about AIPAC? These are
the forces that brought us this war, these are our
enemy within, and we
will not get on the road to peace unless and until
we deal with them. We
can do it tomorrow or we can wait until they start
with the nukes "for
the cause". One thing you can be sure of is that
they will NOT give up
EVER. What makes this situation so extremely
dangerous is that the enemy
will not give up, EVER, either. As a very practical
matter, that leaves
us with a choice: either we reign these forces in,
or we continue to pay
the price for not having done so.
