I hear in Israel they've started putting packages of pig fat on the buses so that when the homicide bombers blow up the bus they'll blow up the pig fat with them. There was another country that had great results by burying the dead terrorists wrapped in pig skins. This also worked great. The problem is that in America we're too PC to do that. After all we don't want to offend the terrorists now do we? Then they won't like us right? You saw what happened with the so-called "torture" in Iraq. Everyone got all worked up about it. I don't agree with the exact methods but being tough on prisoners sounds like a good thing to me if the information saves the lives of our soldiers. I think the news media and others that have made such a big deal about the prison abuse and even compared it to what went on when Sadam was in power now have blood on their hands when terrorists cite that as to why they are killing Americans. Although I think they would have done it anyway.
I think events such as this just further illustrate that there is no diplomacy that will win this war. Even if the U.N. was on our side and passed a thousand resolutions against the terrorists do you think it would make any difference? No. Like BLM said it's a cancer that needs to be cut out. If we can do it while killing as few civilians as possible then great but it will do no good to leave part of the cancer in because we're afraid of killing a few extra people or even just offending them as seems to be the case. Iraq and the world will be better off for it. This war is in the end not just about getting rid of the individual criminals but changing the environment that breeds them. That's why it's important that democracy works in Iraq and that's why it's important to stay the course. Our policy is all ready working. Look at Libya for example, they gave up all their WMD's because they didn't want to be next and just last week the king of Jordan admitted that our war in Iraq was bringing up the debate over democracy in the middle east where people had never considered it before. How many people thought the USSR would change so much so fast before Ronald Reagan? I think it's the same thing now with Bush. Just as Reagan was laughed at by people who thought they were smarter than everyone else, so too do people belittle President Bush but I think if we have the courage see this through it will work out much the same.
