Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "Oh... gosh... I wonder how that argument would have gone over on December 7th 1941?? After all, Japan was a different society with a VASTLY different moral code.. But we won that one, now didn't we?? (and they were more of a military match for the US than are the militant muslim states)."

The US didn't get into a terror war with Japan. It got into a real war. No one is (publicly) advocating that the US get into a real war with the Arab world.

Re: "Doesn't it bother you that the state of Palestine would be so intolerant towards anyone desiring to live under their government??"

Yes it does bother me. But I'm not advocating supporting the Palestinians.

That was thanks to two mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Are you advocating the use of nuclear weapons on Muslim cities filled with civilians?
