drop it where? London or New York? That's where the terrorists were last time, and most likely to strike again

Dropping the bomb would be a good idea, we have to nip this problem once and for all and I think that should do it.

"Drop the bomb"? Where? The terrorists are not in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. They are throughout Europe and the U.S. Waging war in the Middle East is for private, corporate gain and not in the interest of saving the world from terrorism- an effective excuse nontheless, which is apparent from the preceding comments. Resources would be better spent domestically, as our future is being squandered to the benefit of a few.

It's all the work of british intelligence, just like 7/7 in London. Intelligence always conducts "training" exercises for the events they are going to stage the same day. 7/7 there was a training exercise to stop bombs on busses and trains. On 9/11 in the USA there was a training exercise that morning for hijacked planes slamming into buildings. This is how they operate. So if you hear about "terror training drills"...get out of dodge.

We cannot use the bomb against them - it will turn the rest of the world against us, further than they already are.

"Can't we all just get along?"

despite the tough talk of the previoius two comments, there is in fact no "they" to kill or nuke, were you of a mind to do so. the West has very cleverly implemented a policy of embedding all manner of "they" within Western society, without thought as to cultural or political allegience. the threat is all around you, and at least in Britain, likely born there. tis now done, and there is no reversing it. the only effective policies now are either stop meddling in the Middle East, or turn the West into an unbearable police state. obviously that latter is the course which seems to be prevailing. good luck; we will all need it.

What's also sad it that for liberals, everything is political. The only reason they fear an attack is that their insane, high and mighty social-program aspirations will suffer. Now, do you think the liberals care if citizens are killed - as long as we're nice to the detainees at Gitmo ??

Dear Leanne, this really scares me. Jim

Liberals understand a lot, including the fact that the war on terror, like the war on drugs, will never be won by a central administration using force. As long as there is a supply and a demand, market conditions will operate. Bush and the conservatives have much done more to lose a war on terror than a liberal president would have done. In fact, a geranium would have made a better president in the war on terror than Bush. Time to wake up face the facts of world conditions instead of wishing for the laziest, intellectually easiest solution such as a bomb.

Peaceful religion of islam? My a**! We're all fools for thinking dialogue and negotiation will deter anyone set on killing themselves anyway. So, mohammed now is the #1 name ahead of George in England? They'll wish they were fighting Sean again instead of mohammed.

que sera sera

The root of the word terrorism is "terror". If you are afraid, if you desire retribution, if your life is disrupted, the terrorists win. If you start or perpetuate a conflict with the Muslim culture, the terrorists win. The overwhelming majority of Muslims want what you and I want: Happiness, Safety, Home, Family, Peace. They are our best insurance against being attacked; we must treat them with respect if we expect them to assist us with this mutual problem.
"But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also." Matt 5:39

Perhaps it is just a ploy by the governments of the world to keep the "endless war" going. Lets scare the people of the world right when they are celebrating holidays so we can keep this manifested war fresh in the minds of all. Maybe, if the west would stop forcing our way of thinking down everyone's throats then perhaps we may all live in peace. Violence breeds violence and we have increasingly been causing or adding to the violence in the world.

I'd certainly like to see the war on terror succeed or at least move to the next level. But the vexing question is who do we drop the bomb on, Joe? It's not like Al Qaeda has a capital city. Times have changed and this enemy is nearly impossible to fight in a conventional sense.

Trouble with dropping the bomb is, they welcome martyrdom, even on a mass scale. For instance, Iran’s former president Rafsanjani admits Iran could suffer 15 million dead in a nuclear war with Israel ... and says that would be a small price to pay for the destruction of Israel. And Ahmadinejad is advertising in Iranian newspapers for persons to join "a martyrdomseeking
division" for each province in Iran in case of invasion.

Ok, who do we drop the bomb on? The terrorists do not come from one country they are everywhere and embedded in many countries the world over?

And please don't say Iraq...anyone with a brain knows that the War on Terror and the self-imposed War in Iraq are two totally different things.

We could start by taking out the nuclear facilities of Iran. Tactical nucs from a couple subs in the Persian Gulf would put them out of the business for the next century. But the more serious problem are the enemy in our midst, including European and American converts to Islamofascism. For that we need to start shutting down mosques and madrasas.

The problem with the bomb is where would you bomb? They have sleeper cells and active cells all over the world, and if you were to bomb one, or two of the more concentrated places, you would just infuriate the other cells even more and cause more to convert to extremism out of anger. We need to figure out a way to fight a cause that has been veiled as a religious belief.

"Maybe its time we drop the bomb"

And where would you drop "the bomb" genius? Also - please enlighten me as to how that would help?
