Flatten them

The charred body parts of Tuesday’s victims aren’t even buried and I’ve already begun to hear the pacifism of columnists and others: “Violence begets violence.” “This should be a measured response.”

I don’t think so.

Tell me again: How many men, women and children died this time? Thousands? Most likely. Tens of thousands? Possibly.

When are we ever going to learn? Appeasement does not work! It never has. It never will. The Israelis, God bless them, offered Arafat nearly everything he wanted – his response was to murder more Israelis. The U.S. has ignored China’s ongoing and appalling violations of human rights and so China has continued to abuse millions of their own people and some of ours. History is replete with such examples.

By way of contrast, when President Reagan stood firm against the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall came down. When we dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, they surrendered. History is equally as clear that the power-hungry and ego-maniacal respect only one thing: a big stick.

Regrettably, it is now thousands of human lives past time to use that big stick. But let’s not fail to do so any longer. Let’s take that stick and beat the cowards that perpetrated this crime against humanity into the ground. As Deroy Murdock has suggested, let’s flatten them. Into oblivion. And let us not even think twice about doing so.

Will innocents die if we do so? Regrettably, yes. Hopefully as few as possible. But the simple fact is, on Tuesday, a huge number of innocents already did die. And many more innocents will continue to die unless we take action now.

How high must the body count be? Would these pacifists like to wait until the miserable animals behind this attack finally get lucky enough to sneak a nuclear bomb into the United States and kill millions of people? Or perhaps they would prefer to wait until some nasty biochem weapon annihilates half our population.

This must stop – and stop now.

President Bush should destroy Osama bin Laden and “Sodamned Insane” both. Who cares which one of them did it this time? They both are a menace to free and innocent people everywhere. Time to turn both their lights off – permanently.

And to the Israelis, I say this: Use this opportunity while it is within your grasp and before more of your people die. Drive Arafat and his supporters out of the land God gave to you and never let them return. Give them notice to pick up and leave peacefully and destroy those who defiantly remain. And, as in the days of Lot, don’t look back.
