"Diplomacy and smart warfare are a waste of time. We should just glass the Middle East."
I don't get this line of thinking, if you could even call it that.

Whenever I hear shit like this, I weep for humanity. It represents a desire to collectively punish nation-states just because they are Arab/Persian/Muslim/etc while denying that hundreds of thousands of civilians are already dead in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I don't get it, yet I keep hearing among the neocons I am forced to associate with.

1. Why associate with morons?
When they say something moronic like that, just turn on your heel and walk away.

2. Doesn't It Concern Him that That Would Make All that Lovely Oil Radioactive?
OK, this guy's probably a Fundie who wants to start the next Crusade anyway,
but what does he think he's gonna run his SUV on if they do what he suggests?
:wtf:
