Internal You are being far too specific. I couldn't care less who "actually" did this. Let me get this straight: If 20 people total pulled this off, you want us to get these 20 madmen, and give them life in prison. And, at taxpayer expense, give them 3 sqaure meals a day, and warm, dry beds, and cable television, until they die of old age, with full access to the prison's health care system? Even giving all perpetrators the death penalty is meaningless. That takes 10 years. And is irrelevant. We know quite well who the usual suspects are. It's time to lump them all together, and call them the "official" list of rogue nations. We need to tell them all when any single terrorist incident occurs to US or US allies' interests, all nations on the list will pay a price by absorbing measured but nonetheless enormous surgical strikes aimed at their most critical infrastructure. And... consequences be DAMNED. Escalation be DAMNED. You want a war of escalation, we WIN. And, if you escalate, our rate of escalation will be exponential to yours. Our official policy to the rogue nations should be: "We fully understand that you wish to murder every single US citizen and vanquish the Great Satan. We have no problem with your thoughts. Think all you want. But should you try to translate your thoughts to reality in this regard, you will find that the Great Satan is far too powerful to be hurt by you in any statistically signifigant way. We can absorb your greatest attack more than millions-fold. You haven't the means to detroy us. And, you will learn that attacking the Great Satan will be your own undoing, in the most immediate fashion -- even if it requires our reluctant physical destruction of your entire country, our reluctant extermination of your entire population, and our reluctant annexing of your geographical landmass as the next US state. We beg you to leave us alone, and be yourselves, by yourselves, in your own little corner of the world." Our military might must no longer remain caged. Reality is that we are the strongest nation on the face of the Earth. This is no mistake. We've EARNED it. All democratic semi-rational nations have nothing to fear. Only the "official" list of rogue nations will be attacked. -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of D Lloyd Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 6:48 PM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [OT]: TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK, EASILY PREVENTABLE At who/where are you going to strike? Strike at the wrong people and they will strike back. Or, there is a possibility that other countries get involved, escalation occurs and mutual destruction could be on the cards. It's time to keep a cool head about this and find the *real people* responsible.....not what media speculation has suggested. Once they are found then action is justified. Dan To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU cc: From: Ron Anthony Subject: [OT]: TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK, EASILY PREVENTABLE Hello All. A somber day indeed. Incredible details: All 4 planes are now presumed to have been taken over by knife wielding terrorists, approximately 6 men per aircraft. How did we allow a half-dozen simple steak knives to become multiplied by such destructive power, effectively turning these few dollars worth of short range interpersonal weapons (simple knives) into fuel-laden guided missile that have now changed the world? Details are now that the terrorists told the captain "If you don't open the cockpit door we will kill the stewardess we are holding right now". As simple policy this proposal must be ignored across the board. We must NEVER let the controls to be given to madmen. At all costs, control of the aircraft must never fall into enemy hands, and in this case, religeous psychipaths on their exultant way to "paradise". Telling the pilots to ignore all demands and leave the cockpit door locked at all costs would have made this factors of magnitude less both in terms of lives lost and countless billions of dollars in damage. The pilot, crew, and passengers of the 4th aircraft are couragous heroes, apparently mouting a physical challenge to the terrorists and ditching the plane in a rural area. All hands lost. And a smoking hole in the ground. But, no multiple-thousands of casualities on the ground in the world's largest and most famous city. And no "victory" for these madmen to inspire the next generations of psychopatchs, already well formed -- witness the children in Palestine dancing in the streets like it's a national holiday. My friends, it's time to stop playing by gentleman's rules. The murderer wins over the pickpocket. We need to strike pre-emptively in a massive pro-active campaign to exterminate every last vestige of these irretrievable madmen from every corner of the globe. And, as a final note: Bleeding heart liberals, go the hell home. You're USELESS. Proud and Furious Citizen of the USA -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
