Carpet nuke them. Iran and North Korea. Then Somalia, and Venezuala, and Cuba, and France and BP and anyone else who messes with us. Just will not work in todays global economy. Humans need to stick together, you know peace and love like Jesus preached?

The problem is that we have been fighting a Media related war which we can't win. If you 'carpet bombed' a kindergarten, everyone with a cell phone camera would show the mangled children and turn more against us is not the point. The point is that lots of people are already are "turn against us" when you stop a milk toast war, a lot of people will stand-up and take notice and stop fucking with us for fear that they will be next. War is not love and is not what Jesus or another religion preaches. The concept that you can fight a war with love is why we can never effectively win this war. These limited action wars allows a guy with a truck bomb to make a statement and exist. We killed a lot of people in Japan (including a lot of poor innocent children) but in the end it stop the war and reduced the killing of US & Japanese soldiers.
It really is a very simple concept, treat all people with with love and respect but if they choose to kill US citizens fight a real war. If we did this the amount of armed conflict in the world would drop and we all would have more love.
