"...ce journaliste américain enlevé, puis décapité, à Karachi, par une bande de fous de Dieu."

That's the key..."fous de Dieu"...Allah's crazies...Allah's lunatics...that really explains everything.

Why do they hate us so much? It's simple, really. So many of them have been driven stark, raving mad by one of several virulent strains of radical Islam currently infesting the Muslim world. You can't reason or negociate with these sick bastards. You just have to identify, isolate, and eradicate the disease-ridden, and hope the rest are restored to full health.

How to deal with Pakistan? As long as Musharrif is trying his best to help us fight Al Queda and other terrorists, we have to assist and work with him. Perhaps more could be done in terms of covert actions against Islamic terrorists sneaking back and forth across the Afghan border.

If however Musharrif falls and is replaced by fundamentalist Islamic barbarians a la Taliban we may have no choice but to launch an invasion of Pakistan (simultaneously with special forces operations to seize control of Paki nukes)

In the war of radical Islam vs. modern human civilization, we must be prepared for any and all contingencies, and have the strength of will to carry out any and all necessary actions.
