Let's all imagine that some faction in the US begins terrorizing various countries... Somebody (let's say France, to inject some humor) gets ticked off and nukes the entire bloody country just to get rid of that faction.

Of course all the Americans (and I would be surprised if a few Canadians and Mexicans) would die. Or at least 99%. A lot of us. Now wouldn't that just be a bust? We'd all be dead because of a group of people who didn't like everyone else...

Nuking the whole area wouldn't solve anything, it would probably just make it a lot worse. You can't just "kill em all" as that would be nearly impossible, and the millions of survivors would then have a very legitimate reason to be pissed and jihad everything. In my opinion, the only way to avoid the coming holy/culture war that is coming is cultural (not necessarily religious) conversion. Thats the main reason why I support the war in Iraq.

I also find it kind of funny that (in the grand scheme of things) this news would bring on the number of genocidal posts in this thread. Considering the multitude of other atrocities committed in the area, this news is a piss in the ocean.

And as for the posts about how America is going in this direction when it comes to Gays and Lesbians... lets all get a grip, shall we? While I am certainly not in support of a gay marriage ban, the fact that the rights of homosexuals to marry is even being discussed is a sign that progress is being made. Almost no areas of the nation allow gays to marry as it is, and this controversy is a sign that the rights for gays to be married is gaining strength, not losing it.
