    Where's MF? He was warning us about the jihadist faction of the Syrian rebels long before it was cool. You think he'd at least show up to rub it in. :shrug:

    Because that surely wouldn't create an environment for even more pissed off radicals to rise up in!

    It's tough to be a radical when you're a glowing stain.

    What does geophysics have to do with it? You think one well placed nuke could cause a giant earthquake or something?

    No. I'm implying that nuking a specific area isn't going to "get" all of them, because the act itself will create even MORE radicals, because even nice people can turn radical in response to an act of genocide. That one well placed nuke could radicalize normally peaceful Muslims all over the world, and that it'd make the shit that ISIS pulls today look like a small town ice cream social by comparison.

    Exactly.
    Destabilise a nation like the US to the extent that portions of Iraq are and you'd see shit as bad as this.

    And so your plan is to use all those nukes to bomb every city in the world with a Muslim population? Including US cities? Or were you thinking more along the line of interment camps for Muslims living in the US?

    To be fair, is there anything about america that doesn't piss these radicals off? Because short of surrending and moving american culture back hundreds of years I don't see any other way of appeasing these people.

    Not invading their countries might be a good place to start.

    That makes no sense.

    Which is why it's kind of silly for upstart Western nations to think they have the solution.

    Far be it from me to say I told you so, but, I told you so.

    Indeed, you did.
    And the civilians in the towns they're occupying? All the non-Muslim women they've abducted, they get nuked as well?

    This is why no one takes you seriously. :shrug:

    So how many beheadings of innocent Americans should it take before America does something?

    If you were ever in the near vicinity of an airstrike, I'd think you'd qualify that as 'something.'

    Should the US commit 100,000 ground forces (again) to clean up the area (again)?

    I'd say no.

    We should chase down the fuckers responsible if at all possible and introduce them to the concept of hellfire though.

    American's need to keep out of those countries...period.

    Because America doesn't have the stomach to do what would need to be done...so any action will be half assed and just end up with more dead Americans, and no change in any of those shitholes.

    I would rather somethimg was done based on the total death toll (thousands already), not just because a couple of Americans got their heads chopped off.
