Mark Makes A Point

Ahh, Mark Krikorian presentssome rational arguments against nuking Mecca . Fair enough.

Knuckles isn’t convinced that Islam expansionism is confined to Wabbitism Wahhabism.

That said, Knuckles’ gentle heart is gladdened that this conversation is happening.

First, a little history. The Allies didn’t automatically target Germany’s industrial heartland as the key to victory. There were plenty of theories. Including two from France.

The winning strategy was even explained in a feature film…

We can be sure that sophisticated critics scoffed at the animated movie. Imagine, Field Marshall von Disney rallying the troops and urging the mass destruction of Europe’s most productive region. But he did. The rest is history.

Fast forward to the present. Keep the Mecca Option on the table. Islam is the swamp in which the radicals swim freely. Islam is either unable or unwilling to do anything about it. Civilizing Iraq and Afghanistan are good first steps. More will need to be done. But then, each suicide bomber makes that point clear.

By now, you’ve all probably read this account of the suicide bomber who survived his mission and explains the process of becoming a human WMD.

Frankly, it doesn’t add much to our understanding of the threat against us. Finding a 14-year old who wants to kill himself is easy, especially with the promise of 72 whorific virgins who undoubtedly swallow just like they themselves had to during their “private tutoring sessions” with the iman. Yes, other suicide bombersare older, and Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu posits that Al Queda routinely misleads older bombers into thinking that the timers are set to go off long after the “Freedom Fighter” has fled the scene.

The big question is still unanswered: who are the men who recruit and train the boys?

Sure, they must be well paid. But what kind of man does this and why? The question of who these men are is not idle curiosity. The closer we get to finding and understanding the men who organize and train suicide bombers, the closer we’t be to identifying and destroying the real enemy.

Please discuss among yourselves and report back with details.
