>> Let's hear your solution.<<

Usually, when people say "let's hear your solution," they appear to be talking about a solution which will end a problem for all time.

Like -- ok, here is the cure to world hunger! We'll just feed everybody!! And everybody slaps their foreheads and says "Doh!! Why didn't I think of that!!"

Some problems don't have solutions. Some problems just have to be dealt with, all the time. Like, you have to gather enough food every day, and you have to prepare food every day, and you have to wash dishes every day. There's no "solution" to the problem of gathering and preparing food and cleaning up the mess. Grocery stores and microwaves and dishwashers make it all easier, but it still needs to be done every day.

There's no "solution" to the problem of dirty laundry. Washing machines and driers make it easier but it still needs to be done every day.

Keeping militant Islam at bay is something we've been doing for hundreds of years. For almost as long as there has been Islam.

I don't think there is a "solution," except to keep on keeping on.

BTW, I agree with KLP -- the following statement is a shameless distortion of the truth:

>> During that time we've consistently supported Israel in their continuing slow moving ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and we've also starved Iraq in a matter brutally reminiscent of the starvation in Germany that ended in mid 1919.<<

Is this what Pat Buchanan and his ilk are stooping to these days?
