Hoo! Haa! C2... You'll have to excuse me for laughing but I have to. It may keep me from crying... but I doubt it.<g> If you'll think back for a moment C2, I think you'll remember that on 9/11 there were quite a few people who felt the same way you do now. I would also be willing to bet large sums of cash, mostly on margin, that many of them held "Official" titles in our capitol. Entirely apart from the unwarranted threat your solution poses to my porcine friends,... it is exactly what terrifies me in Harris' slight of hand essay. He's attempting to build a theoretical basis to justify an underlying solution of a similar sort. Obviously there is no need to build a theoretical justification, for a solution that "no one could contemplate." I can only conclude that someone, in "Official" places, may be contemplating such right now. ...Hopefully not to the extent of your "Duke Nukem" plan, but something more akin to Carl's 5% Solution. And frankly I would be quite shocked if substantial and sufficient, albeit non-nuclear, threats weren't conveyed to all the Islamic capitols many moons ago. I just hope they come up with a better rational, because I could just as easily use "Fantasy Ideology" to include the capitol of Israel on your irradiation hit parade. ...Or any capitol for that matter. And that's a tad too undiscriminating for me. Not that you need to wave the red flag of WMDs under my nose to get me to strike. But before I can start "contemplating" a Bilowesgue 5% Solution, I need more than Harris is giving me. Don't ask me what it will be, but I suspect I will get it. If it isn't going to be my "OBL on a Nuke" option, I suspect it will be something comparable. We just have to be patient. If there is somebody out there that merits a 5% rinse, they will step forward to claim it when the time is right. I just hope that when it comes, it stops short of being bad enough to call for your elimination of Islam itself. If not, I am going to have some choice words for Mr. Harris. ...I mean swords... choice of swords for Mr. Harris. <Hoo> 0\|0
