I wouldnt word it as starkly as you have but i do agree. If she can dish it out, she should be able to take it... We have to save Eleuthra from the Burka in spite of herself. As far as I'm concerned, she can take a one-way flight to "Mujtown" anytime she wants. I'm sick of how they continue to put our national interests at risk by providing their indirect (if not direct) aid and comfort to a brutal enemy. It's VERY UNFORTUNATE that there still exist ideologues who believe that they have the right to use violence and oppression to dominate and terrorize masses of people so they can use them for their tyrannical purposes. And it's EVEN MORE UNFORTUNATE that our sons and daughters HAVE BEEN FORCED by these wicked people to have to take up arms and confront them via the most terrible and de-humanizing realities known to mankind... personal combat to the death. But we don't win wars by "pussy-footing" around with an enemy who would SAW our heads from our necks at a moment's notice. We defeat them by creating an equal terror in their ranks, and by supporting moderate and progressive leaders in their community. I don't have much compassion for the Muj's. They chose to adopt this tyrannical and fanatical religious ideology, not I. And I'm absolutely resentful that we're forced to wage a war against them in defense of our sovereignty and human values. Sometimes, as in the case of Japan and Germany, we're forced to utterly destroy all aspects of the old system, and rebuild from the ground up. The alternative is to permit our civilized tolerance and indecisiveness to continue encouraging attacks upon our society. No-doubt.. It's an ugly reality. But the sooner we recognize it and deal with the threat, the quicker we can get back to the concept of peaceful co-existence that our enemies seek to deny to us. Hawk
