...or, we can just A-bomb all Middle Eastern countries and rebuild civilisation there from scratch...without the beards.

Second verse, same as the first....
As Oddguy states in the intelligent Oddworld thread, what we might call a terrorist, similair thinkers might call a freedom fighter. As for rebuilding civilization, I know for a fact that we don't have a working one to Emulate. Come on; Senseless mugging, killing, devastating wars and mental illness were all but unknown in unaffected "primitive" peoples. These things are often explained away with some glib comment like "that's the price of progress" as if the idea of becoming civilized is so great a pull that we sacrifice sustainability (of ourselves and "our" resources) for it.
And seriously, the people directly responsible for 911--though from similair countries of origin--had all been living in the US despite our knowledge of semi-legal or illegal activities for some time. How does where someone thinks an idea up become a target for reciprocating hatred? The PEOPLE of afghanistan are not the ones who bombed the twin towers, yet WE ARE the people who bombed them. Do we blow up the Una-bombers friends and family? Would we attack france or spain if one of their terrorist groups went international? It's asinine. Symptomatic of the sick minds and disgusting priorities our culture helps create.
But maybe Jacob was joking.... Humour on the forums is very different from real life.
