What is the proper response to a terrorist attack?

Good thing a bigot like yourself doesnt get a choice in hte matter. If they go to a US prison, you WILL support them weather you like it or not. and I personally hope that makes you burn and smolder with anger on the inside for the helplessness you have in paying for said incarceration.

 

first they came for the jews, now the muslims, who will be next?

Sure reduce statist imperialism and resource theft through conquest.

 

If they don't agree with the terrorists, those people shouldn't let the terrorists hide among them. Instead, they should reject them, kick them out, stop dealing with them and report them - make it clear they aren't welcome.

 

excellent post.well said.the proper response is for americans to arrest the Clintons,the Bushs,Rumsfield,Cheney,Wolferitz,Rice,Rove and many of these other crooks in washington since they are the REAL terrorists.

 

Until the terrorists start hurting or killing their loved ones, in which case protecting their loved ones becomes priority uno.

 

And kindly accept their subsequent beheading.

 

What's the proper response to a terror attack?

It depends on who you ask...

On one extreme, there are the people who believe we should nuke whatever country is tied to it.

On the other, people believe we should sing Kumbaya by a campfire.

I'm somewhere in between with first determining if it was a state-sponsored attack or from an isolated group.

If the former applies, attack the country involved. If the latter applies, work with the local government to apprehend the group responsible.

 

Israel is the exception, silly. Israeli's aren't shooting up crackers, killing ambassadors nor doing anything but being a stellar friend in difficult times; our one true ally in the middle east, may I remind all you Israel-bashers.

 

And what do we get from this alliance?

 

a sink hole for our money and weapons.

 

Oh ya. And one sunken war ship. When Isreal knowingly sunk the USS Liberty.

Freedom comes at a price. The people are currently being used by the terrorists for protection and propaganda. If the people don't want to be used, they will have take a risk and earn their freedom.

Besides, everyone claims the terrorists and militants are a tiny minority. If that is true, the majority should be able to isolate and eliminate them. Thousands or even hundreds of citizens should have no difficulty eliminating a half-dozen terrorists from their midst.

 

Because it didn't take us ten years in two countries to sorta wipe them out.

 

Because we had to figure out who of the people in a city we had never been to were the terrorists, had to tie those terrorists to specific actions and had to isolate and eliminate them with minimal collateral damage.

It would be far easier for the people in a town to figure out who among them is a terrorist and eliminate them then it is for a foreign army to do so.

Consider the unibomber. He was found because his brother recognized his writing and reported it. No foreign army could have done that.

 

And what do you propose? Become a tyranical regime? Where the oppositors to that regime are mudered? Nice.

 

Id someone made a movie mocking Christ, I believe a small minority of Christians would react violent to it.

In fact, I am going to test this. I am going to make a movie where Jesus comes to earth to teach catholic priests how to rape alter boys.

 

So let the people do it and leave them the (*)(*)(*)(*) alone. Don't give them a reason to attack us and let their own people sort it out.

 

I will let you know as soon as you are wearing the uniform of our military, then, if you are still willing to send yourself to war, we will talk

on the slightest chance you are in uniform, there is a .0000001% chance of that, then my question goes to all the other tough guy baggers on here recommending war

 

South Park has had several episodes that did things like this. Some protesting happened, but no violence ensued.

 

1. Honest non PC recognition of the event
2. Determine host country culpability
3. If culpable, immediate cessation of all aid
4. Vast, rapid pain for those who carried out the attack
5. Elimination of all US policies and procedures found to have enabled the attack

 

There is something you must know, the United States has not fought a free standing army worth it's weight since World War II. Beating up on antiquated Soviet tanks from the 60s with the M1A2 Abrams is like a UFC fighter taking on a 5 year old child. Fighting an insurgent force in Afghanistan that still uses old horse cavalry against predator drones is awesome. I'm glad that the officers core of the military is not full of war mongers and poor decision makers like yourself, otherwise we would be pressing the shiny red button at our nuclear silos every time someone threw a rock at an American embassy (which btw I know you find completely okay).[/QUOTE]

There's something YOU should know. Islam's ascendency has been broken before (thank you Christian armies) and it can be broken again. They aren't an unstoppable force. They do bleed and they do die and when enough of them die, they cease hostilities. They're only a giant in your mind.

 

75% of polled Muslim populations agree with the Muslim brotherhood that Sh'ria law should be implemented in full, homosexuals should be hung, prosyletizers of other faiths should be punished and converts from Islam should be executed. What reasonable, moderate people do you think should kick out the "extremists"?

 

You are oh so good at revisionist history.

 

Stopped at the gates of Vienna and at Lepanto. Previously stopped by the French at Tours...Just because a group is vast and savage does not mean it is unstoppable.
