Liked Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged but you are advocating a similar nuclear response to that of her heir Leonard Peikoff. The man is incredibly bright but demented.
No, I'm not saying we should nuke Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Syria or the rest of those places.
But we should declare outright war on the terrorist cells -- war on Islam (like the Crusades which are still going on, essentially).
Don't hold back. Send everything we have at them, flatten villages that harbor them. Inflict massive civilian casualties, so massive that people won't want the rat bastards around them because it'll get them killed. How many entire villages/towns do you think you'd have to obliterate, killing everything that moved within them, before people started refusing to abet the terrorist cells? Not that many.
Don't worry if the French are going to be offended. Don't worry if the Chilean Prime Minister is going to express outrage. Don't care if the Chinese get pissed.
There's a quote in a show coming out on Showtime. What's the use of having fuck you money if you never say fuck you?
What's the use of being the most powerful nation in the world if you don't express that power on occasion?
The Crusades set the Muslim movement back hundreds of years. It's time to do it again.
