I'm pretty sure you've all heard now but in case you haven't, according to ol' Tom, a nuclear attack against the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina would be a successful deterrent against possible future terrorist strikes against the US.

“If it is up to me, we are going to explain that an attack on this homeland of that nature would be followed by an attack on the holy sites in Mecca and Medina. That is the only thing I can think of that might deter somebody from doing what they would otherwise do. If I am wrong, fine, tell me, and I would be happy to do something else. But you had better find a deterrent, or you will find an attack.”

Not only will wiping out two of the most sacred Muslim cities not deter future attacks, but would more than likely incite more attacks against Americans as such an action would be deemed a modern day Crusade against Islam. Not to mention that Mecca and Medina are both located inside of Saudi Arabia and, last I checked, Saudi Arabia was a supposed ally of the US who supplies us with billions upon billions of barrels of gallons of oil. I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't take too kindly to being bombed...
What scares me more than the fact that he's actually running for POTUS, is the fact that there are actually people who agree with him (Enough to get him elected to Congress)
Doesn't anyone understand that ideas can't be fought with bombs?
