In the history of this planet there have been many wars fought and concluded without having to obliterate every last man/woman/child. It?s called forcing them to surrender or die. You use overwhelming military force to make a crystal clear example and make them realize they ARE all going to die unless they stop hostilities.
The last example of such a war was WW2.
When they believe the UN, or our own people will succeed in pacifying us, then they see absolutely no reason or need to surrender.
It's the enduring mistake of every generation in every war to depict the other side as monsters bent on destruction in some effort to dehumanize them. You would think smart people would have learned to spot that obvious propaganda technique by now.
I think I'm going to take this group of postings and show it to my friends. They don't believe people this crazy are really out there in these kinds of numbers. You deride other people for being "animals" and then say that we should kill them into submission. You people are sick... to talk about the slaughter of countless millions of people as you do is the mark of a psychopath.[/quote]
Pull your head out of your a$$, and reread my response instead of firing off with your hair trigger outrage. I didnt say they
should be killed. I simply asked how you deal with an entire generation bent on destruction and world domination without killing them all. It was a question meant to elicit further discussion. Muslims dont surrender as gracefully as the Germans or Japanese, as they dont exhibit the same sense of nationalism or self preservation.

Hey genius, while you didn't the other poster that I quoted in my response did. Guess which one I was referring to. I knew there was a reason I quoted two... hrmm....
Your posting was also stupid, but only because you assume that an entire generation of a certain culture is bent on destruction and world domination. So, if you want I will be more precise:
1.) People who attribute a desire for world domination to an entire generation of people are making a stupid argument.
2.) People who want to kill a good portion of those people so wrongly attributed are psychopaths.
While I appreciate your desire to further discussion on this subject, your premise is so flawed that real discussion is not possible. We are not fighting cartoon supervillians.
