Tancredo not backing down
I've already posted about Pat [UPDATE: Tom; dang it] Tancredo's comments on nuclear tit-for-tat, and I was pleased to see he isn't backing down. Instead, he gives a big "up yours" to the namby-pambies.
Few can argue that our current approach to this war has deterred fundamentalists from killing Westerners - nor has it prompted "moderate" Muslims and leaders of Muslim countries to do what is necessary to crack down on the extremists in their midst who perpetuate these grisly crimes.
That being the case, perhaps the civilized world must intensify its approach.
Does that mean the United States should be re-targeting its entire missile arsenal on Mecca today? Does it mean we ought to be sending Stealth bombers on runs over Medina? Clearly not.
But should we take any option or target off the table, regardless of the circumstances? Absolutely not, particularly if the mere discussion of an option or target may dissuade a fundamentalist Muslim extremist from strapping on a bomb-filled backpack, or if it might encourage "moderate" Muslims to do a better job cracking down on extremism in their ranks.
A local Muslim group denounced the politician (as did, I'm sure, many other Islamapologists). But they didn't denounce the five Arab men who were arrested today on account of an apparent plot to kill and kill and kill and kill. Or this guy.
