<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Complete extermination of the enemy WOULD be my
first choice but I do realize the difficulty that entails.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My alternate, more realistic, solution, such as it
is, would be for us to be vigilant, root out leaders, bases, and training
areas as best we can and destroy them. Identify funding sources and
communication pathways and choke them off. Help Iraq become a 21st century
republic. Try and help Afghanistan into becoming at least a peaceful 19th
century functioning oligarchy. Do our best to encourage more peaceful/less
radical Muslim nations to do more to help and pray God for improvement over
time. I really don't foresee the problem going away entirely but I do believe
that we can make the job description of radical islamic terrorist more dangerous
and unappealing than other more productive pursuits.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, how about you? Let's hear a few specifics of
your plan that aren't your generic Rodney King plaintive plea for peace. Should
we apologize for putting the world trade towers, the USS Cole, and misc.
embassies in the path of terrorist attack and offer to pay billions in
reparations/ransom? (I doubt it would help, who do we pay off ?) Should we
abandon Israel? (I doubt it would make any difference, Israelis have a silly
notion that they have a right to live) Abandon our interests in the region? (I
doubt it would help as without western help most of these nations economies
would grind to a halt) Not allow US culture to seep into the region? (I doubt it
would help, the genii is already out of that bottle)</FONT></DIV>
