It’s hard to keep track of all the barbaric behavior emanating from that part of the world.
Glenn Reynolds, November 23, 2010, on his prescription for dealing with North Korea:
If they start anything, I say nuke ‘em. And not with just a few bombs. They’ve caused enough trouble -- and it would be a useful lesson for Iran, too.
Glenn Reynolds, November 4, 2006, on how to deal with the Muslim world:
It's also true that if democracy can't work in Iraq, then we should probably adopt a "more rubble, less trouble" approach to other countries in the region that threaten us.
Glenn Reynolds, February 13, 2007, on how to deal with Iran:
We should be responding quietly, killing radical mullahs and iranian atomic scientists . . .
Glenn Reynolds, September 11, 2001, on responding to the 9/11 attacks:
GEORGE BUSH IS NOW THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD:. . . Now, if he wants to nuke Baghdad, there is nobody to say him nay -- and damned few who would want to.
Boy, those primitive, dirty, lowly Muslims sure do have a bizarre, unique cultural compulsion toward violence and barbarism, don't they? Reynolds is highlighted here not because he's unique but because he's so drearily common. Behold the spectacle of those who cheered for the attack on Iraq (resulting in the deaths of at least 100,000 innocent people), who casually call for massive first-strike nuclear attacks on other nations (certain to vaporize hundreds of thousands or millions of human), who loyally marched lockstep behind a leader who instituted a worldwide torture and disappearance regime, lamenting how those grimy, backward Muslims over there have a disturbing and incomparable affinity for violence (and for examples of religious-motivated violence among Christians and Jews, see here).
Nuke 'em. Invade 'em. Torture 'em. Occupy 'em. Murder their scientists and religious leaders. Put 'em in cages for life without due process. Reduce 'em to rubble. Why? Because Muslims are so prone to violence and barbarism! That's a fairly succinct summary of America's political culture for the last decade at least.
