I am not idealistic, never was, never will be realist, yes US leaders want BinLaden first, but also the network of terrorist cells havent you heard this many times? Powell has said that taking out Benny will not eliminate the threat havent you heard this either? my realism has led me to conclude that use of nuclear weapons will - galvanize Arabs and Islamics against us - escalate the violence on widespread basis - eventually leading to a nuclear strike on NYCity idealism? nonsense extreme force is the weapon of choice for those who lack insight into the problem, who look for quick solutions rather than progressive solutions, who prefer push buttons to hard work in fact, I regard a NUKE as the ultimate "instant gratification" you feel great initially after scaring the world after impressing the enemy and his supporters with your power then you deal with the long painful costly aftermath no, this is about power as much as alliances and intelligence I dont foster Politically Correct positions either a strong wide groundwork must be laid in the next few weeks we must gather support from Arabs and Moslems many upcoming maneuvers will be unsavory and politically difficult I just wrote an email to the only Arab I could ever call a friend very curious to hear his response yeah, sure, hit the Land from the Stone Age Afghanistan with a nuke all the Islams will then become quiet and docile they will join the Arabs in following our lead I have said we might soon engage of RE-ARRANGEMENT OF ROCK AND SAND I forgot, or MELTING SAND a nuke is EXACTLY what Bin Laden wants he wants escalation he wants a Holy War between Islam and the West he knows how to play small-minded American emotions you are being played, Tom you can do better than that / jim
