Interesting post, however justifying 100 civilians for one 1 militant is pretty hard to justify in my eyes. Note that such actions only end up creating more militants, and that just because the people are brown dosent mean we are better then them, a civilian is a civilian. (the militants can apply this same logic to the "white devils") Also outside of 9/11 notice any attacks on us? The "threat" is far more marginal then it appears. Our bombing the fuck out of shit strategy has only made things worse, and will only continue to do so. Afganistan, sure that was legitin a sense, when you start bringing in Iraq then we need to realize what we are actually doing.
For discussion's sake, let's assume there are a million militants in the MI. I am applying a figure of a total MI Arab population of a billion, probably that's on the high side. Even using those seat-of-the-pants guesses, that means that if we were to kill 100 civilians for every militant, we'd off 100 million people. I agree with you that that's down right ridiculous. However, if the militants get their way, they'd be offing ~5 BILLION people, because they hate every non-Arab

Swim backwards in time, David! Swim upriver! It can be done!
Unless you can't swim, I guess. Then you hope like hell the river is fast enough to keep you afloat, otherwise you end up all bloated and ugly-looking and nobody will touch you.

A:Fighting fire with fire is just liable to engulf the planet in a hellstorm and fry the shit out of everyone in it. Even those calling for such a war are probably going to think twice about it should it come, or should the consequences be more apparent
