I'm not looking for a "nucular" (ahem - nuclear) solution unless it's warranted. Do you think for 1 milisecond if Muslim miltants had nuclear or dirty bomb capability that they'd hesitate for one second about dropping it on my city or yours? THEY WOULD. But they don't have the technology or the means to deliver it. Maybe we can all just hang around until they do.

I wasn't assigning racism, I was being sarcastic and was exaggerating. I just tried to put it in a perspective that I often find here among Americans. They hate the fact that US soldiers are dying daily, they are complaning about the money flowing there, instead of helping the local economy, and are yelling out for a quick and "clean" solution -- like in Japan 60 years ago. Well, these are different times, a nuclear (I know how to spell it, I was moking Bush and hence the quotes) attack won't happen, that should be clear. I understand the US' effort to rebuild Iraq, but as long as the Iraqi population is infested with mulitant extremists and splinter groups who hate American guts and like to slice heads off, there will be more dying. As simple as that.
You are right, nobody invited them to the 9-11 party. BUT! First of all, it is not clear to many of you, that the roots of the hatred against the US and the fire that fuels the hatred are entagled in the past. I once read that Al-Quaeda was furious about the prolonged occupation of the Holy Land after Desert Storm after the war was over. There is a REASON why those people dispise your country. And 9-11 was the way to retaliate. Secondly, you can not mix two different things. Going after Al-Q. in Afghanistan and bombing the shit out of their nests was certainly justified, and there was no doubt in my mind that that was a proper reaction to the attacks of 2001. But Iraq, my friend, is mildly different. Sure, there is splinter groups of Al-Q. and others that belong to the same terror network that allegedly planned and hahahahahahahad 9-11, but not all Iraqi people are contra-USA. You can't just fuckin nuke them, because the USA is incapable of saving their soldier's lives in a guerilla warfare scenario as it is in Iraq now. No wonder people have predicted Iraq to become the second "Nam". With every next lost life, it gets a step closer.
Regarding your statement on the nukes... sure - they'd probably use it, BUT they don't have one, and I am sure the brilliant CIA leadership puts lots of money and efforts into making sure they don't have it. Which brings me back to the source of all this pointless evil: Where are the WMDs?
