In addition to its religious significance (which is apparently why you want to make it a target) Mecca is a city of about a million people. I think Baghdad might be bigger, and while I don't know Medina's population I think it is more then a small town. So because we are pissed at the killing of a few thousand Americans you want us to kill a few million? Your talking more deaths then all the terrorist acts of history put together, plus Nagasaki, Hiroshima, the fire bombings of Tokyo and Dresden, and not just Pearl Harbor but all the American deaths from WWII, and all other wars that the US has ever fought including both sides of the Civil War.

Almost all the people you would kill have never committed a terrorist act or directly supported a terrorist. Are you really that thirsty for blood?
