With the drone program we swell their ranks, we drive the general Muslim population to support them, or at least ignore them. We'll never get rid of all of them, just as we'll never get rid of groups like Westboro Baptist. But our drone program is their best recruiting tool.

A homosexual boy is a boy who is sexually attracted to boys and men instead of girls and women. Many such boys do not recognize this about themselves, and/or do not admit it to anyone, including themselves.

I hear they are printing up a *whole bunch* of new Merit Badges! (Sorry, just yanking your RightWingNut chains...)

Yes, the 'W' really needs to be lowercase.

Clearly, we had enough for two (and for the Trinity test). And we weren't going to tell the Japanese how many bombs we had.

The North pole is uninhabited. In a null sense I suppose you could consider the Caliphate established in those parts.

"Terrorism is Never Justified" Amen. And since we have far more control over acts of terrorism that we ourselves commit, we should stop the drone program.

Richard Clarke got it about right, IMHO, when he said there is a hard-core 40K-100K-strong bunch of IslamoTerrorist Fanatics who hate the West, see it as corroding Islam, and who wish to conquer and/or destroy it at all costs. And they are tolerated, and occaisionally funded, by Tens of Millions of ordinary Muslims who themselves would never commit acts of violence on the other side of the world, but who are sick of having the West run their lives.

Do you ever feel childish when you write, er *stuff* like the above? And all I said was that Obama should stop the drone program. I see prison time for the perpetrators of our Iraqi (mis)-adventures as a pretty unlikely possibility, don't you? I just think they are ahead of Obama on the war-criminal totem-pole. Bigtime ahead.

No. A 'reaction' would be to offer asylum, negotiate with ambassadors, etc. Fullscale invasion and occupation (gee, sounds familiar, doesn't it?) is what you call an OVER-reaction.
