#1 With thinkers like this, no wonder the IDF floundered in Lebanon. If the country doesn't find new leaders soon, then God help Israel.

#4 Buggered metaphor alert. Certainly, it's not like fighting another army, but that doesn't make it like fighting crime. No doubt this brain fart will be parroted by the domestic cretins. He even looks like Carter.

#5 Fighting terrorism is not like fighting crime. Fighting terrorism is like fighting a vermin infestation. You don't just wound rats and hope they won't come back.

#6 I liked your disease analogy, Zenster. Particularly the infectious variety. Quarantine it, and blast with antibiotics until long after the symptoms have abated, to ensure that nothing has the opportunity to mutate and develop resistance. Then incinerate everything that might have been contaminated. Develop a vaccine, and aim for total eradication.

May Islam go the way of polio.

#8 May Islam go the way of polio.

In a huge and absolutely tragic irony, Islam is directly responsible for the biggest outbreak of polio in decades. The only solace lies in how Islam is eating its young. I still pity the children who will be crippled for life by the untrammeled idiocy of their elders.

Sharia vs. polio in Nigeria

AP reported that the rejection of the polio vaccine by a polio-ravaged Nigerian state was due to anti-American sentiment and conspiracy theories. That is true, but it is also true that these fears are being stoked by the local Islamic authorities: "But fears mounted last year after Datti Ahmed, a Kano physician who heads a prominent Muslim group, the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria, said polio vaccines were 'corrupted and tainted by evildoers from America and their Western allies.'"

Polio left Dauda Abdullahi with twisted limbs, unable to walk. But he refuses to allow his children to be immunised against the disease that crippled him three decades ago.
"Only Allah can save us. I don't trust medicine," the 42-year-old roadside shoemaker said.

Immunising toddlers with mouth drops has reduced the number of polio cases from 350 000 children annually in the 1980s to fewer than 800 worldwide last year. Yet the virus is spreading again from Nigeria, where UN officials say a third of the world's cases are the result of a vaccine boycott.

Amid rising Muslim-Western tensions worldwide, Nigeria's Muslims are heeding allegations that the vaccine is a US plot to spread Aids or infertility.

Since October, three northern Nigerian states have banned door-to-door vaccinations until they are satisfied the vaccines do not contain harmful substances.

"Since September 11, the Muslim world is beginning to be suspicious of any move from the Western world," said Sule Ya'u Sule, speaking for the governor of Kano, one of the states where the vaccine is banned. "Our people have become really concerned about polio vaccine."
