Well, its too bad you are so disconnected from the boys and girls that make
up the American armed forces. We have fought animals and defeated them
before, and we're defeating them now. Not one generation of Americans has
known exemption from having to deal with countries and peoples who tortured
and murdered their prisoners as well as their own countrymen. The muslims
aren't much different in that respect than the Germans, Japanese, Koreans,
Vietnamese, Sandanistas, Serbs, Taliban or fundamentalist muslim anywhere.
We can and do defeat them without turning into something repuilsive, or
proscribing a lack of freedoms in our own country that would alarm Thomas

Nagasaki, Dresden, My Lai, etc.
