Wipe out almost half of the worlds population? Yeah, THATS going to happen. Think again. Thats why it isn't a viable option. Further, many men in prominant places are muslims. There is another reason why it isn't a viable option. Using the "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" thought process leaves everyone blind and toothless. They are trying to be bullies, and we aren't letting them bully us. I never said you had to roll over and turn muslim. Quite the oposite....I say to fight, but give us an achieveable goal. Something like a death rate or attack rate of less than 2 per week in the hot zones. THEN we will be seeing achievement.
