Probably a lot of things have not been attempted, have you forgot who has been the president of the United States these past eight years?enough of this bullshit! nobody is stopping it and we have no alternative but to crush these radicals..!" It could very well happen... full-fledged war against them and their allies. What choice does the world have that hasn't been attempted?

I have. I got angry and frustrated and she straightened me right out.
Do you remember when India and Pakistan were on the brink of nuclear war a few years ago. The Muslims have their own version of Armageddon I have heard. And some of them want to bring it about just as much as our christian jihadists

I think I will listen to some music now.
