They're largely just randomly blowing people up. That's no good. It makes a difference what or who exactly you are blowing up. And oh yes, a sufficient dose of explosives can solve a lot of problems, regardless of candy-ass "liberal" philosophy. The most blunt example, Japan. Two bombs put an end to WWII. Now you might want to argue that this was very harsh, or unnecessary. I don't entirely know what to think on that myself. However, you can't very well argue that it didn't work. 14635@blogcritics.org Sun, 10 Aug 2003 18:17:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/08/10/172156.php#comment-14633 Gosh, I thought that was the philosophy of Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. And while it is good at killing people, it doesn't solve problems. 14633@blogcritics.org Sun, 10 Aug 2003 18:03:33 EDT
