if that were to happen today, everyone and their mother would come crying to the government and whoever ordered it would be out of here faster than a bat out of hell.

that said, i think its about time it happens again.

I don't know about it being glorified, but there whole way of doing things seems to me to boil down to "do whatever it takes" to get the job done. They have show time and again that THEY are willing to do that. SO, what's so WRONG with US playing by the same rules?
We should have learned THAT in Viet Nam. Do beat an enemy, you MUST be willing to fight that enemy on HIS terms.

Why did he let one of the terrorists go? It's not like word wouldn't have spread around if they did kill all 50. :)

Crude? Yes. Effective? Apparently. Would I want him for president? No. He seems far more likely to get involved in WW3 than even duhbya (despite his best efforts). Make him secretary of defense.

I seriously doubt that the death of 50 terrorists will discourage further terrorism. If anything, they would love to have something like this happen today and rally more anti-US sentiment.
heh, figures.

Crude but effective way to deal with terrorists!

I doubt murdering Muslims in cold blood and defacing their religious beliefs is going to stop Palistians from blowing up Israelis.
It would:
1.Help satisfy some peoples need for revenge.
2.Piss off Muslims and add credence to their belief that the US is out to destroy Islam.
3. Start a religious war.

Maybe if you don't know the history, you should keep your mouth shut. That was a valid protest, against an oppressive regime. Next time, please read some history before you sprout your ignorance.
