1. Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda must be brought to
justice. By justice I mean death, and in a fashion
that shows acknowledgement of the atrocities by the
Islamic faith. Justice by the blade in public view,
preferably in Mecca, Islam's most holy of places, and
by a Saudi executioner.

I'm all for that, America's mistake was two fold on this. They pulled troops out of Afganistan before they could close the circle on Bin Laden. They subcontracted out to the Patistan army. But in all due fairness, its almost as hard to find a unsophisticated terrorist hiding in a mountain pass as it is to find a needle in times square

2. Removal of Saddam Hussein. Do the job right this
time and get this idiot out of power. Preferably bomb
his ass until he's dead, but placing him in a cell
with a big horny black guy named Abraham would be
sufficient. Open the country up to democratic
elections.

they did this, and turned him over for trial, I have no problem with this. Its done and sometime soon somebody going to start sharpening the blade or buying a rope. it is funny that non of these crazies in Iraq are demanding his release. shows how far he's fallen

3. Clean out the Sudan. Get serious and hammer the
crap out these guys. Don't stop until every single
King Pin is dead or pleading to be Bill Clinton's love
slave.

Isn't this under UN consideration, wouldn't American's invading this be against the law? Why isn't the UN in there cleaning it out

4. The development of a Palestinian State. The
Americans are going to have to bite the bullet on this
one and side with the Arabs against the Jews. Not
really side with them, but play arbitrator that holds
the Isrealis in their seats, gun to head, while they
sign the accord granting homelands to the
Palestinians. They will then have to play peackeeper
for the forseeable future and make sure the Arabs and
Jews play nicely, and punish the offending party, even
if that offending party is eating a kosher happy meal.


I do agree with it, but the disposition of this is a lot more dificult then can be imagined. The American's going against Isreal would create a harder response from Isreal which would be bad for the Palestines. I think that the answer lies more in the Arab states brokering this deal and trying to moderate the Palestines so they can allow Isreal to worry less about thier security.


5. Redevelopment of the Islamic nations. Don't just
bomb these countries back to the stoneage and leave
them in the dust, but go in and EDUCATE these people
and HELP them build up their countries again.
Education is the greatest weapon there is. Why are
people the way they are in fundamentalist Islamic
countries? Because they were taught to think and act
the way they do. Education is key to continued peace.

This is a utopian solution that I don't think would ever happen. Do you think that the radical Islamics would ever allow Westernized education to flourish in thier own backyard? The last thing these people or the leaders of the Arab states would want is thier own subjects to have any kind of advanced education as they would start to question thier own religion, and thier own leadership. the only thing a forced education program would create is a lot of body bags filled with teachers and students.

6. Work in concert with the rest of the world to
clean up the rest of the terrorist theat. Each
country has its own internal threat and those groups
need to be dealt with as well. Make terrorist morally
unacceptable in ALL regions of the world.

This would be nice as well, but there is a political issue or dimension to this that has to be looked at. Its to the advantage of a lot of less progressive countries to have terrorists at thier beck and call. And also who would co-ordinate this massive effort. Not the Americans, because they don't trust the French or Germans. Not the British for the same reason above. Certainly not the Russians even though they would be my choice due to thier ruthlessness. The French, nah they would surrender Paris after a spirited 20 minute struggle. The Germans? not strong enough militarily and they might be tempted to call France a terrorist nation. So it comes down to the American's continuing to do what they're doing now.

7. Everyone smoke some of that hasheesh that
Afgahnistan is so famous for and have a real big
party. Once you party with someone its pretty hard to
want to wipe them off the face of the earth.

Or you could get stoned and stab your buddy just to see him die. Two great armies met on the battlefield to negotiate a peaceful settlement. While the leaders were talking one soldier drew his sword to kill an asp. Both sides with a high level of mistrust fell upon each other in a horrific battle which ended when no man was left standing
