worth reading. y'know, i tend to be more of an old testament kind of guy, but i also believe in doing my own laundry. if you're going to break some guy's kneecaps just because you (ever so justifiably) hate him, at least do it yourself...

mind you, if the message here is an attempt to speak to those sub-human degenerates in a language they clearly understand very well, so be it. i tend to be more of the Pax Romana school of thought anyway, as most of you know. if you hurt one of mine, i will make damned sure that the price you pay so far exceeds what you got out of it in the first place, that it will discourage that behaviour in the future. even if it doesn't discourage it, at a 1,000 to 1 ratio, you'll run out of true believers long before i run out of fellow Romans.

perhaps the solution is really two-fold. show these vile, repulsive slugs of humanity the brighter side of western life and demonstrate its accessibility to them, while making it exceedingly dangerous and fraught with strife for them to continue on their self-absorbed crusades of insanity. perhaps some of the less brain-dead among them will at some point develop a vague, almost sentient glimmer of understanding that cooperation and understanding/tolerance will cause less of them to live like starving nomadic neanderthals with AK-47s and cause less of their 'holy clerics' to feel the need to explode with a maximum of witnesses present, which would inevitably result in another of their villages to cease to exist in return, etc etc...
instead, maybe buy the occasional pair of levis, learn to stop using the word infidel like it's a license to kill, and sit at a diplomatic negotiations table or two...

then again, this is just my heart's reaction to beheadings and car bombs. i'm sure those high-and-mightys in office have uber brains churning out solutions so advanced they're in a different language. so advanced that neither side can even read the language yet. that's how advanced, compadre. trust in them.
