For all the loss of US lives in the barracks during bygone era to the latest 9/11, America waited too long to eradicate root, tree and branch of this Islamic militant terrorism. This effort is on the same national effort to eradicate the nazism; if this Islamic anti-US activists are not destroyed, there won't be any domestic safety or security. It is like the moghuls who invaded India and wrought so much of destruction. Destruction is the name of their game. It is deeply ingrained in their psyche; either they live in peace with their neighbors and the world or they are dispatched to hell promptly. The world has been coddlling these killers for many years. America has the will and the resources to combat this islamic militant terrorism. A good Islamic militant terrorist is a dead Islamic militant terrorist. I need a resident idiot and a MFB to counter this opinion--JPR --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn.com Editorial section This Saddam obsession In such a situation, none of Iraq's neighbours, which include some of America's staunch Arab allies, would approve of another attack on Iraq. A military strike may remove Saddam Hussein, but it would throw Iraq back into the stone age and unleash a new anti-American wave across the Arab and Muslim world. This will hardly serve the cause of the fight against global terrorism. Worse, the anti-American wave may turn popular opinion in the Arab world against those Arab regimes which are friendly to Washington. This may destabilize many Arab countries. Those likely to gain from such widespread anarchy may be hard-line anti-American militants. Israel, too, may get involved in such a war, leading perhaps to a wider conflict. This will hardly serve the cause of world peace or of America's own geopolitical interests in a sensitive region such as the Middle East. One hopes saner counsel will prevail in Washington. A military operation against Iraq is too full of horrifying consequences to be considered seriously.
