Well if they do attack us afterward then we can kill as many of them as you'd like. I'd even piss on all their graves afterward. That's how ignorant I am that that won't happen.

I'm sure that's what Chamberlain thought after letting Hitler have the Sudentenland. What I think is wrong with your logic is that you're trying to give reasonable motivations to unreasonable people.

Well, the part about trying to appease unreasonable people makes sense to me. You can't do it. Is anyone really stupid enough to believe that pulling out of Iraq will mollify these cretins?

Not at all. However, the WW2 analogy has been used for all sorts of fallacious logical purposes far beyond this issue. It's hyperbolic and a transparent attempt to appropriate the legitimacy of our invasion of Europe during that time.

Right, because Nazi Germany didn't declare war on the US and Pearl Harbor didn't happen? WTF do you expect the US to do?

And of course, the real "invasion" happened after WWII ended, with the Marshall Plan making sure that America gained control of Western Europe, not the Soviet Union, which effectively won the Cold War.

Without having read any replies, I will offer my thoughts. Though I agree that this whole [censored] thing is our fault and don't know how the idiot got reelected, your plan will not stop terrorism. Terrorism is caused by people who are attempting to find outside reasons for their problems (and may or may not be justified). They then channel that anger and hatred towards the cause of their problems in very destructive means, feeling justified because they are only destroying the evil which is causing so much badness. There will always be people like this. I like your post even though it won't work.

Simply announce that any identifiable remains of suicide bombers in the future will be buried with 100 lbs of partially rendered pork fat. It seems Allah, most forgiving, ever merciful will not let you bang the virgins if you are buried with pigs. I believe I read somewhere that Gen MacArthur quashed a Muslim rebellion in the Phillipines this way. Anyway, it couldn't hurt, if only to throw some extra insults at these bastards.

I'm actually really interested to know, what makes you so confident that they, after roughly 1500 years of Jihads, many of them unprovoked power thrusts that have shaped and destroyed empires and even continents as per their religious doctrine, would just completely 100% stop?

Didn't the WTC get demolished *before* we invaded Iraq?

Yes it did. It was demolished for the two reasons I listed above: our strong support of Israel, and our military presence all over the world, in over 100 countries(but especially the Muslim countries). It could have been avoided.
