Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Well we can't stop drug dealers and child molesters, what does that say about us? It's easier said than done. I'd imagine that plenty of Iraqis would like the violence would stop. But the Americans OBVIOUSLY cannot protect them, so they're gonna clam up. The don't know democracy - they know intimidation, and their reactions are ingrained. When we can do a better job of protecting civilians, it'll improve. And don't tell me it's up to the Iraqi police and military to protect themselves. We assumed that responsibility when we invaded. We bought it, it's ugly, and it's all ours. 381835[/snapback] And for the most part we are. Even *IF* the number of 60 attacks is right, that's still low for a nation of 20+ million people.

Wacka Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Well we can't stop drug dealers and child molesters, what does that say about us? 381835[/snapback] Yes we can. Shoot down the unlighted, unmarked planes smuggling the drugs in. First castrate the molesters, then fry them on ole sparky. But we are too pansyassed to do this. Just as the world was in the early 70s when Arafat and his group killed the Olympic athletes. If the world would have retaliated swiftly and strongly, terrorism would not have flourished. Israel did the best they could eventually tracking down and executing those responsible (except for Arafat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it maybe fun if we do embrace Cruel and Unusual: We could inject Elephantitis into their scrotums until they request that their 9 lbs nutsack be removed for cosmetic purposes.

Felons convicted of heinous crimes should have a choice between hanging and firing squad, and it should be done in short order as to not further weigh on them.

And, hey, maybe removing their genitalia will finally help them become functioning members of society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the intervention in Iraq may prove to be beneficial in reforming a really rotten region but it'll take years to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
