So, the Chechen rebels attacked a school today, and they're holding some 400+ students and parents hostage. If you haven't heard about it, here's a link for you. What a mess. I'm serious, that's just crazy. They're promising to kill 50 students for every terrorist the Russians kill.
I have two thoughts:
- This shows the consequences of having an unarmed populace. In Israel, teachers are armed. Parents going on field trips go armed. They do this because the Palestinians tried crap like this. It ended fast when everyone started going to school armed and would-be terrorists got killed. Funny how that works. The Russians should consider arming their people and then find out how long it takes before the Chechnyans stop running raids into other provinces.
- I hope that the Russians don't negotiate. If they feel they must negotiate, I'd send Slim Pickens in to talk them, Dr. Strangelove style. In fact, I have a picture of him on his way to his last negotiation meeting:

For those of you completely out of the know, Slim Pickens is riding an atomic bomb that's been dropped out of a B-52 onto Soviet soil. It's from the movie Dr. Strangelove. Now that you've made me explain it, it's kind of lost it's humor. But I'm going to continue on with my point. I'm sick and tired of these muslim extremists, these islamic fascists that would impose their religious point of view on the entire world. The minute you start doing this kind of stuff, you're fair game. I'm not going to have any sympathy for you or your cause. That goes for the Chechens, the Palestinians, anyone.
So, my solution to finding Bin Laden is simply this: we blanket that no-mans land between Afghanistan and Pakistan where he's supposed to be hiding with pamphlets explaining that unless someone gives him up in the next week we're going to nuke the entire region. We've tried money, it didn't work. We tried Special Forces, that didn't work. Let's pull out the big sticks now. If you don't want to go nuclear just yet, we can go with chemical weapons. That's fine. Let's get it done. I'm ready.

I've been saying this about the Muslim extremists for...many many years now. Anyone who feels the need to violently and belligerently press their religion on others, is not doing themselves or their religion a favor. I totally agree with you, and I think we should take a hard-line stance. The vast majority of Muslims in this world disdain this violence and are peaceful in nature, BUT, it seems like every day, more and more are turning radical and getting extremist and pulling this shit. Something needs to be done from within the religion, within Islam, to stop this nonsense and bullshit from becoming accepted. Otherwise, it will continue, until another Hiroshima or Nagasaki. That stopped the kamikazes, didn't it? Whatever works, man. I totally agree with you, brother. Nuke the bastards. I'll even fuel and help arm the AIR FORCE plane(s) that have the honor of doing it, that is my job, after all!
I agree man. I'll tell you what, these Muslims are the achilles heel of the world. I don't see this getting better, the only alternative is to drop massive destruction on them all. Theey are a joke, their religion is a joke, and their God must be an angry whore!
-- Maurice Reeves : Thanks for your support KG, but I don't agree with bashing all muslims, or the religion of Islam. I'm just personally upset with those who use Islam as an excuse for their terrorist acts.
