So ummm... Tom Tancredo
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.

MAD has worked for decades, why wouldn't it still continue to work?
The only ones that bombing wouldn't work on are the fanatics and, i'll say it again, you can't fight fanaticism, you can't compromise with it, and you certainly don't want to ignore it, so the only thing you can do is beat it before it beats you.

Because no Muslim extremist is deterred by MAD, is why. They've already shown a complete disregard for who they kill as long as they're killing the 'non-believers', so what makes you think that this mentality will change any time soon?
Besides, such idiotic statements as the one Mr. Tancredo made above play right into the extremists hands and will undoubtedly be used a rallying cry in order to mount more opposition against the US (Hell, they might even take it as a chance to 'Push the envelope', so to speak). If you bomb-- Or even threaten to bomb-- Mecca or Medina you suddenly change the 'war' (I use that term loosely) from the West vs. Islamic fundamentalists to the West vs. Islam.
