The people we are battling, willing to blow themselves and innocents up without compunction...does the good Congressman think that talk such as his would deter them? If the U.S. responded to an attack orchestrated by hundreds of evil terrorists by bombing a religious site and killing thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of non-combatants, thereby creating a form of martyrdom never before seen, would this not serve the ultimate goal of the terrorists? In such a game of chicken, does the good Congressman really want the U.S. to be the one having to make a decision to destroy a religious holy city?

Hey, what if the next step is for the terrorists to say that if the U.S. does not leave Iraq St. Peter's square will be atomized?
