Who can forget this insane advice from Junior Neocon Rich Lowry:
"Lots of sentiment for nuking Mecca. Moderates opt for something more along these lines: "Baghdad and Tehran would be the likeliest sites for a first strike. If we have clean enough bombs to assure a pinpoint damage area, Gaza City and Ramallah would also be on list. Damascus, Cairo, Algiers, Tripoli and Riyadh should be put on alert that any signs of support for the attacks in their cities will bring immediate annihilation."
"This is a tough one, and I don't know quite what to think. Mecca seems extreme, of course, but then again few people would die and it would send a signal. Religions have suffered such catastrophic setbacks before...And, as a general matter, the time for seriousness--including figuring out what we would do in retaliation, so maybe it can have some slight deterrent effect--is now rather than after thousands and thousands more American casualties."
So the moderate position was to atomic bomb 10 cities and indiscrimately kill millions of innocents in revenge for the hypothetical murder of a few thousand more Americans? This sounds more like Genghis Khan than Thomas Jefferson. So much for spreading liberty and civilization.
Can anyone doubt that the Neocons aren't just wrong, but plain evil. "Lots of support" for nuking cities? Calling Dr. Strangelove.
And notice his only concern is that the attacks on Gaza and Ramallah would not also consume neighboring Israeli lives. Maybe we will live long enough to see this headline: Neocons Face Setback, Forced to Admit Arabs are Human Beings.
