Sem dúvida, um texto no mais puro "state of the art" do "Kill them all!".
Enternecedor como o autor com todo o cuidado avisa: "...do not harm the national parliament building. This must become the seat of the new government, if a democracy is to take root."
E suponho que durante a Guerra Fria estaria a defender o "nuke them before they nuke us", porque no final avisa com pompa: "Will you be there to help clean up the dead when the first terrorist nuclear weapon is detonated in a major American city? Or would you prefer that the will of the terrorists to continue be broken now?"
Não existe absolutamente mais nenhuma alternativa até porque o conflito entre Israelitas e Palestinianos só se prolonga porque: "Israel has been prevented by world opinion and the United States from responding with the level of violence necessary to end terrorism". Portanto suponho que tenha em mente uma qualquer solução final.
Break them now!

Baghdad has a number of other attractive psychological targets we can exploit:
-Destroy the monument to the Unknown Soldier.
-Convert the military parade ground to a charitable project, or open it to Christian missionaries.
-Destroy the Grand Saddam Mosque, currently under construction. It's probably where the weapons are hidden, anyway.
-Destroy any mosque found to contain even a single weapon. Don't close it, completely level it. Taking up arms against America must exact immediate and severe consequences.
Finally, do not harm the national parliament building. This must become the seat of the new government, if a democracy is to take root.
Some may object to this level of violence. Israel, they will point out, has been responding with violence to Palestinian terrorism for years, and the conflict now is deadlier than ever. But the fact is, Israel has been prevented by world opinion and the United States from responding with the level of violence necessary to end terrorism. Now the world has reaped its reward.

As I pointed out earlier, Saddam's loyalists can never go free. Tens of thousands of people worked for the regime, and their execution can be timed to demonstrate retribution for the death of each American soldier. A ratio of a hundred Iraqi Stassi executed for each American soldier killed would seem a reasonable starting point.
Is this heartless? Yes. Is it an escalation of the violence? Absolutely. (...)
Will you be there to help clean up the dead when the first terrorist nuclear weapon is detonated in a major American city? Or would you prefer that the will of the terrorists to continue be broken now?
