I think Al Qaeda has gone beyond that because I think attacking places with people in them, no matter how symbolic and effective it might be, is wrong.

If you're including me as one of the "apologists," where did I ever say that these people deserved to die or that al Qaeda was justified in killing them?

And what are your proposals for dealing with radical terrorists? I have already stated that I believe that terrorism should be dealt with as criminal activity, not as a cause for invasion and occupation of a country.

I pretty much knew about your killing ways.

Criminal activity?? Nope! They need to be dealt with by force. Extreme force. They need to be deleted with prejudice. IMO....

Amen brother... I don't think 9/11 was such a small act that the perps should rot in jail over.. oh no.. those bastards that planned the attacks should be burning in hell with all the other cowards that carried it out, and if they think they're getting virgins in the afterlife I hope they look like Rosie O' and smell of rotting camel toe.

Careful, the same was said of illegal aliens, but in different words, and that thread got locked.
IMO, it was the stacking of bodies along the border that did the thread in.

If you're that interested in my thoughts on this issue, then you should be quite familiar with my posts on the subject. We should pressure AQ with strikes here & there where we find they're comfort zone is high. We should continue to pressure them around the world, both financially and militarily. I don't believe we should invade every country that doesn't like us.

And while the above issues are important (IMO), we need to focus on border security. We've got a president that has failed this country with respect to border security, and he's not alone since many before him did the same. We can kill terrorists hiding in Somalia every week; but if we don't control our borders, we will dramatically increase the probability that we'll get struck here.

Comparing radical Muslims to illegal Mexicans is ridiculous. I will say that all radical Muslims must die till I'm blue in the face, simply because that is the only way they will stop killing innocent people who do not believe in what they do.

First off, my reply was not to any of your posts. In general I find your repeated cut & paste with a complete void of independent thought to be completely boring to me. And I rarely even look at them.

My comment was addressed to another member of the forum and was a generalization. In recent years, folks seem to continue to imply that the actions of the terrorists were actually reactions to repeated US involvement in the ME. Similar (but not the same) to your statement below.
