Congressman Threatens Islamic Holy Sites

Threaten to bomb Mecca, that's a real great way to prevent terrorism you idiot! That kind of crap is precisely the reason they hate us.

Rep. Tancredo's spokesman does raise a very good question however. "We have an enemy with no uniform, no state, who looks like you and me and only emerges right before an attack. How do we go after someone like that?"

The answer is you limit their ability to recruit by promoting peace and economic stability. If you combat poverty, you will start to take away the pool of eligibles. On the other hand, if you talk about bombing Mecca then you could certainly go a long way towards a Jihad of millions, instead of a few hundreds or thousands.
