I do admit that I should try and respond more, however. But I never censor anyone that disagrees or just feels like calling me an idiot. <em>--WKW</em> I do read the comments, Weaver, but I don’t respond much due to time constraints, plus, I don’t want to spend more time responding to those that disagree with me than those who do agree with me.

If Russia launches nukes on America, what do you think America’s response would be? MAD demands that we launch nukes back at Russia. Yet, how do we deter “individuals” without ties to any state from nuking us? Tancredo offered up a solution: if a Muslim attacks America, America will attack what all Muslims holds dear. This is a deterrent not a dream of blowing up the Middle East. If you listen to Tancredo, he’s the least belligerent of the candidates, save Dr. Paul. Dr. Paul has even stated Tancredo is the closest of all running to Dr. Paul’s view. William S. Lind has written extensively on 4'th generation warfare if you're interested. I tried posting a link, but it didn't get through the filter. Does Bill Wolfrum read these comments? I never see him respond… Make that 32 supporters.

But make that 31 supporters. We should have taken this action immediately after 9/11. Loss of life on all sides would have been minimized the $$ cost would have been infintestimal compared to what we've done instead. And the message would have been crystal clear. "You guys clean up your act!!" Unfortunately most "modern" policitians lack the incisive, action oriented mentality of our founding fathers, Tom being perhaps an exception.
