If you were the POTUS, what might you do to try to put an end to this crap? This begins to remind me of Vietnam Nam . . Are we trying to win? Are we fulfilling our responsibilities as a super power?
Thoughts?
There are 1.6 billion Muslims. The only sensible answer I could give is that the problem has to be dealt with initially by the Muslim leadership, with hands on assistance from Muslim citizens, local police, federal/national police, and troops when needed. The governments around the world also need to be more proactive, and provide a better transfer of information for locating, and stamping out immediate hotspots.
The only thing a terrorist attack on America ought to bring is an instant death sentence on the attackers, everyone they know and everyone they love. I don't care who likes us because of it. I don't care who hates us because of it. Actions need to have consequences and those consequences need to be dire. If you don't want said consequences, keep your fanatical religious bulls**t out of our country.
When Japan hit Pearl Harbor, we hit back at Hiroshima.
I'd pull all military out of the ME and nuke the **** out of Mecca.
We must do what we did in WWII in the Pacific - identify the enemy and how he threatens us, strengthen our weaknesses, locate the enemy where he lies, destroy him unrelentingly, and then destroy his ability to make war on us EVER AGAIN.

So just to verify that I'm reading this correctly. If a terrorist drives through a crowd of people in Times Square, we should find his family, friends and everyone he knows and systematically murder every one of them to send a message?
Crazy. Isn't it?

Then I would send every refugee that came here UNvetted, that was between the age of 18 and 60 that are males, and send them back from whence they came.
I would build a very tall wall that would make the great wall of china look like a popsicle fence.
Anyone wanting to come to the USA has to be processed...which will take MONTHS. They can frigging wait while they are super vetted before allowed in.
Then I would concentrate on us. Americans. Home. Rebuild our military to the max.
Bzzt. The fact speaks for itself. Youre trying to draw a parallel between the wars of conquest in ancient times with modern day terrorism, which is just silly. Switzerland has not been attacked by radical Islamists. Why? Because the Swiss arent messing around in places where they dont belong.

Not to send a message, to send a warning to potential suicide bombers and terrorists that if they attack us, not only is their own life forfeit, not only are the lives of those in their organization lives forfeit, but so are all of the people they know and love. It doesn't do any good to target ISIS combatants, they're already ready to die. They don't care. It has no impact on them whatsoever. But if we're willing to wipe out their friends and their wives and their children and everything they love, maybe some of them will reconsider. It's distasteful to be sure but hopefully it's something that won't have to happen very often. In the same way that being willing to nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended WWII and saved millions of lives, being willing to kill civilians to stop terrorist attacks will also save lives.
Jesus H. Christ you are one ****ed up individual, Cephus. No, we will not being sinking to their level by murdering innocent people. Something this "distasteful" can only come from the mind of a sociopath. Who do we know that's said something similar recently?
It just blows my mind how many sociopaths there are on this forum. People literally calling for the mass and indiscriminate murder of millions of people. How does this not qualify as hate speech?
The only thing the U.S. hasn't tried is leaving people the hell alone. For decades we have tried invading their countries, rearranging their borders, assassinating their leaders, dictating the governments, selecting their new leaders, occupying their lands, manipulating their natural resources, destroying their infrastructures, destroying their villages and towns, robbing citizens of the dignity, and causing much innocent loss of life. How is that working out? What did we honestly expect? Yet we do it again and again and we somehow expect the results to be different.
If we reversed roles and the U.S. were to experience all of the above at what point do you expect Americans would just give up? As with most nations I don't believe the U.S. would give up the fight until there was no one left to fight. Yet, we seem perplexed that Muslim nations we have ****ed with and ****ed over won't give up.
How about we leave them the hell alone, as we should have done from day one. We leave their nations. We pull our people out. That's a start. It is also the only thing we have never tried to do.
And there's something to be said for that, but now you have a radical religious movement who wants to forcibly convert the planet to their brand of Islam and they don't care if you're meddling in the Middle East or not, if you're a heretic, you're dead.
Good point. I've thought about that as well. How the U.S. would address that internally is perhaps the greatest question. I don't have an answer.

The war on terror is a conflict perpetuated by our foreign policy. If I was POTUS I would withdraw all our troops from overseas and stop meddling in other countries' affairs- no military support for anyone. It would give radical Islamists no reason to attack us. Neutral countries dont get attacked by foreign terrorists.
