OT-Poll...what should our response be to the Outrage?

[TTom TTR]

We need to remove the Taliban (that WE instated into power by the way) and that's it.

The peopple hate the Taliban, but if said allowed they are shot on sight. They are in total living in total poverty and starving by the millions.

Not exactly a nation hell bent on kicking our asses.

employ more barbaric measures (civialian executions in retaliation for strikes against their military, widespread torture, and really really sophisticated helicopter gunships got their asses kicked...) I think the best answer is a combined ground invasion using a good split between NATO and Muslin countries (Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other eastern troops...lessens the possibility of it escalating into "an us against them metality" The states sho8uld kill all the Taliban then when thier done win the hearts and minds of the general populace by rebuilding their country.....give them a reason to stop being terrorist....if those people were actually allowed to live in "decadent" ways they would give up.....first kill the leaders with bullets then beat the people with TV's , Blue Jeans, Hamburgers, and Coca-Cola..... the alternative I think will start World War 3..... Dont think that it wouldnt be possible for some crazy ****ar with a small back-pack nuke to detonate it in a Western city......none of us want this do we???

and it's a small one.

Fuel-air weapons work by initially detonating a scattering charge within a bomb, rocket or grenade warhead. The warhead contents, which are composed of either volatile gases, liquids or finely powdered explosives, form an aerosol cloud. This cloud is then ignited and the subsequent fireball sears the surrounding area while consuming the oxygen in this area. The lack of oxygen creates an enormous overpressure. This overpressure, or blast wave, is the primary casualty-producing force. In several dozen microseconds, the pressure at the center of the explosion can reach 30 kilograms per square centimeter (427 pounds per square inch) - normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch with a temperature between 2,500-3,000 degrees Centigrade [4,532-5,432 degrees Fahrenheit]. This is 1.5 to 2 times greater than the overpressure caused by conventional explosives. Personnel under the cloud are literally crushed to death. Outside the cloud area, the blast wave travels at some 3,000 meters per second [9843 feet per second]. The resultant vacuum pulls in loose objects to fill the void.

As a result, a fuel-air explosive can have the effect of a tactical nuclear weapon without residual radiation. Since a fuel-air mixture flows easily into any cavities, neither natural terrain features nor non-hermetically sealed field fortifications (emplacements, covered slit trenches, bunkers) protect against the effects of fuel-air explosives. If a fuel-air charge is fired inside a building or bunker, the cloud is contained and this amplifies the destruction of the load-bearing components of the structure. Fuel-air can be an effective weapon against exposed enemy personnel, combat equipment, fortified areas and individual fighting positions. It can be used to clear minefields and to clear and prepare landing zones for assault forces and helicopters. It can be used to destroy communication centers and urban strong points. It can be used to defend against anti-ship missile attacks and against surface and submarine naval attacks. Fuel-air explosions can also be used as a herbicide, destroying crops and vegetation.

they'd think twice about using them on us.

We must stop them now before it gets to that point.

Sorry, but that's the way I see it.

Bully of the world? I suppose so if your political news is exclusively gained from MTV...

[BillK]

Pretty much looks like all rules are already off...
